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).

an audiophile is anyone who cares enough about the reproduction of recorded music to believe there should be a name applied to the penchant.
An "Audiophile" is: A person who hears differences between audio components (hardware and software) and values highly those faithful to musical values (you dig?).
Nice quote craig! I think an audiophile is someone who cares about the music so much that they become obsessed with making it sound the best that they can.
To me a audiophile is someone is wants to hear music that can be reproduced with the same intensity, clarity, and emotion, that the artist had in mind. I believe this is especially true if you play an instrument. You know what a particular instrument sounds like and will not stand for it to sound any different. Hope this makes sense.
