You know you're an audiophile if--

- you get art prints made out of audiophile approved acoustic panels

- you own a tube tester, freq analyzing mic, or tone generator

How true. Anything possible.

Sadly, I lie to experiment with anything possible for sure, but I do not have time to waste, so I choose my experiments carefully."

Hey, Mapman, I'm pretty sure this is not supposed to be a serious thread. You can go back to your BarcoLounger now.

When you have a reoccurring nightmare about a component you foolishly sold. Over....and....over....and...over.

You know you're an audiophile if-your biggest fear is when you die the wife will sell your hi-fi at the price you told her it cost. :D

1) you own VTL Wotans and love them.
2) you want to get another pair- for biamping.
3) you knock out all the non-loadbearing walls in your home to give your Magnepans the room they really need.
4) All prospective home purchases are evaluated vis-a-vis the potential listening rooms. (I know someone ELSE mentioned it... But I'm going through it too.)
5) You buy two phono preamps (in addition to having a built-in phono stage in one of your preamps) before you have purchased a turntable
6) You have more tube amps than you have fingers.
7) You start building your own gear...
8) Audiogon becomes your porn site of choice!
9) Robert Plant asks you if you know who has the Extended Plinth VPI Aires with the Lyra Cart. that's posting Led Zeppelin Hi-Res MP3's on Torrent and YouTube sites, and you say you don't, but if you find yourself in the fellow's listening room, you promise that the Lyra will have to be shipped to Soundsmith for a new cantilever...
