Is live reproduction the goal of audio?

I 'm not telling you what you should like guys. I'm telling you should have fun and enjoy your systems . Just don't call it audiophile. It has a definite definition that's all I am saying. You have what is called lifestyle systems. Your living rooms plus a hi-fi set up. Not to be confused with audiophile. It is living room plus cool.

Sorry if you take it wrong.

I hate the ipod too. But it does blow away old generation products ...when comparing apple to apple.

Ok i'll try again steak man.

Do you guys own frying pans. ? Do you own 10$regular or are you the culinary advanced 150$. I know lots of weekend warriors post here. Meaning a great knowledge of food and wine. Well can you fry a great steak in a 10$ pan or is the 100$ dollar pan in the hands of a newbie( burns water) going to give him the edge.

Lets everybody put up the pics of the rooms ...regardless of price of system and we will find newbee city. Everyone talks the talk but the pictures are a horrible presentation of hifi. That's my point .....who cares what you own....your room is a tell tell of how much you are misunderstanding ...yet you offer the advice up.

C5150, how about posting a photo of your room, since that appears to be the tell of how much you understand. Teach us through example.

You are not the arbiter of what can be called an audiophile system and what cannot be called an audiophile system, no matter how you prepare your steak.

I find your posts confusing as hell, frankly, and now I'm tired of reading your absolutist opinion.

Blechhh.

Now, the picture is becoming clearer.

Your two statements here contradict one another IMO. Paul Klipsch had a little button he liked to refer people too upon hearing them espouse blather like this. It said simply, in elegant old english lettering, against a bright yellow background; "Bullshit". As far as sticking folks into pidgeon holes, and giving them titles, some of which are solely to elevate or lower their status in one arena or another, well, that'd be my response to you. You can look at my system on my system page and you can make up any old name you like for me like ol' Chuckles101 might. Either one means the same to me: absolutely nothing. Thinking like that is about as tightly packed "in the box" as a person can get. Labels and pidgeon holes are the roots of prejudice, and in the way your are applying them only serve to separate one of us from the other. No fun in that at all.

You cannot teach a guy who knows it all already. You are audiophiles right .You got me too. Man I better go lick my wounds.
