What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?

Good insight, sheps!

An audiophile is a connoisseur of music and associated equipment required for playback, mostly self-proclaimed, but also knows that in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't mean a thing.  

The word is in the dictionary and I fit the definition. 

A sick sick person who is NEVER satisfied...😁

@sheps nailed it: "It’s about appreciating that sound can be something that has qualities that can be pleasingly improved."

For those who say "who cares" or "it’s just a label," they need to explain why others are debating it or why they bothered to post on this thread at all. Obviously, it matters. Labels matter because they are like moves in a game made by others -- ways which may wind up in action.  Anyone who’s gotten upset at being called a name or being categorized unfairly knows that labels matter, a lot. (Anyone who disagrees with that, please step forward and accept the label of "socialist" or whatever. You'll hesitate because, well, labels matter. And if you're on this forum, the label audiophile matters.)

Whatcha gonna do? Fight for the definitions which you think are best.
