You might be an audiophile if...

YMBAAI:

1) your on-going discussion about the glass table in the listening room with the wife eventually leads to an accidental hammer falling out of you pocket (onto it) as you were walking through the room to go fix something else..

2) You cancel the Stereophile cause you're ears are better than the reviewers ("what were they thinking when they said that!").

3) You're 4yr old son can point out that that's Louis singing and playing the trumpet, and Duke is on the piano (at the right times during the song of course).

4) Your spouse gave up on you long ago....

When someone asks you what kind of stereo you have it takes twenty minutes to answer

You called Rives Audio to assist on the selection of your last home purchase (you'd be surprised how many times we've done this now).

You're designing a new home and you spend more time with Rives Audio than you do with your architect on the remainder of the home.

You converted a barn in your backyard into the ultimate audiophile getaway.

You are a successful practicing doctor(s) and decide to abandon that to sell high end audio equipment and have Rives Audio design the showrooms (two brothers come to mind here).

You ever considered buying a building in Manhatten to build the ultimate audio room because you wanted it convenient and closer to your office. (true story)

The last words you heard before you made an audio purchase were: "Hang on, I've got to introduce you to someone. I'll conference them in, hang on." (Jonathon Tinn clients know what I'm talking about here)

You watched a Vin Diesel movie and suddenly had the urge to buy audio equipment. (JTinn clients will understand this too)

You have more invested in records and cds than your retirement accounts.

You ever wondered if you should paint your interior walls with textured paint for added diffusion.

...if you buy a cd that you already have. Now I have never done this...just know some people who have:)

...you stop inviting friends and relatives over for fear of them questioning you sanity, once they saw what you've done to the living room.
...you swear you can hear the difference between an object 1/4 once vs 1/2 once placed on top of your component.
...you spent the week-ends tweaking your components that you thought sounded "Perfect" last week-end.
...you look around for things that "might" work in your system everytime you walk into a Home Depot.
