Average age of audiophiles

Well, i am at the age which i see most of you started at. im in high school, and have been addicted to this obsession for the best sound for around.. 1 year and a half, the last 9 months ive been serious about it though. I currenty have invested about everypenny i had into my system. but of course i didnt forget to buy some cd's you can view my system here:

complete with pics and all.

Of course its not easy having a limited budget and liking this hobby but when i turn on some floyd and enjoy the music its all worth it. i dont think anyone will argue on that.

Enjoy the Music!

Like a lot of you I had my first system while in high school-1971 at age 16. I also had the great fortune of running sound for a band in the late 70's. Talk about the ultimate stereo-it sounded like live musicians on stage. Oh yeah, it was.

I just finished a 2 1/2 year upgrade path that took me from a 9 year old system through home theater & back to 2 channel only. In putting together this latest combination I managed to put together a system for my boy who'll be 15 this year.

Now I'm getting into DIY. Never a dull moment around here.

Hmmm,
Allways loved the gear. Got into middle of the road gear around 12. First true high end sound when I was 18. stereo budget has exceeded car budget since. I'm now 35 and boat budget has begun to exceed audio.
(But I still drive that 91 Camry.....whats wrong??)

Actually, what are the definitions we are talking about here?

What is an audiophile?
