What is the meaning of a true audiophile


To me, a true audiophile is one who constantly seeks acoustic utopia with non-utopian resources(=time & money).

I think an audiophile is simply one who listens to equipment, rather than music.
A favorite quote of mine on this subject was by David 99: "audiophiles are neurotic, two channel, sweetspot loners". I really think that quote showed a lot of humorous insight. If I got it wrong David, please feel free to chew me out:>) Cheers. Craig.
An audiophile cares about the technical aspects of a recording, instead of how good the musicianship is.
an audiophile is anyone who cares enough about the reproduction of recorded music to believe there should be a name applied to the penchant.
