Nope, it's not about the money. Really. It's about the meds you have to take to apply for admission. Of course, the more money you have the better meds you can get.

Relax, it's just a state of mind. Don't worry, be happy.
You don't even need to own a system to be an audiophile (you'll want to though)... I was an audiophile long before I owned my first system.

There are all kinds of audiophiles. Forget the money.

Many only use vintage tube gear from the 60s and 70s. Others only buy the latest megabuck system to keep up the the Audio Jones'. Some even get a kick out of buying used gear and seeing how good a system they can put together for $1,000.

Some go to yard sales, flea markets, thrift stores and pawn shops looking for cool stuff for pennies, including old vinyl LPs.
You need to send $1K to me and I will send you your official audiophile of america membership card and decoder ring, plus a tricked up power cord and a spike coaster. Or you can just email me your cc # and I will let you know when your credit limit ahs been reached. ;~)
