You know you're an audiophile if--


You just got a pair of speakers you can barely move yourself (inverse proportionality with age probably too)

The first house you bought cost less than your current stereo investment (ditto)

You have boxes of cables with which you don't know what to do

You sit for hours in infinite bliss listening to music just to hear what might happen next while all your ADD friends are out twittering.
you spend an excessive amount of time, listening to music, buying and selling components, and talking about the hobby.

what constitutes "excessive" is determined by a panel of psychiatrists or psychologists.

the hobby can be a disease if one neglects other important activities of living.
If your friend or family member ( mostly much juniors in age ) casually ask you to help them with a tip to improve their 2ch audio system set up ( with a very modest budget in mind ) and you keep explaining to him/her all about the sound quality and the equipments matching , till the person who asked gets emmensely bored and almost regrets asking you.
