You know you're an audiophile if--

When you listen to your rig at 6 in the evening and think "Thankfully it will sound better later when the HVAC system turns off."

When you refer to your $900 MRLP family room stereo as your "bad system."

"You buy an album and clean, then play, the sides in numerical order."

Audiofeil - seriously, you mean there's another way?!

Gosh, I got some good laughs from these.

Ok I got new one I'm just finding out about. You have an extra pair of speakers - good speakers. You were going to sell them because you already have two systems. You decide you can't do that and start thinking, what amp and equipment do I need to buy to set up a third system. And in what room.

You start wondering, if it would be possible to create a device that could actually clean one side of a Record, and play the other side at the same time. O.K.- who makes and manufactures it, I know that I wasn't the first one to think of it! Where can I get one, and it better cost more than atleast $5000.00 or it is not even worth concideration!

I think the "audiophile" thing is because most of us are "project focused" (I would say a "man" thing, but I know there are women "audiophiles" out there). I spend more time reading/buying for the "project" while the music plays in the background, than "listening". I know the music / system is good when it distracts me from the "project".
