When the sound you want to hear isn't the sound you are hearing...especially when it's the sound of your vexed wife that you are hearing...

I.E. If you are not married - you are NOT a true audiophile...

If you ARE married, you are not a true audiophile. Why? You asked. Because a true audiophile is only married to his audio equipment, and still be happy.

...when you would like to hear the sound of your wife through your expensive gear to add "warmth", reduce shrillness or sibilance and possibly eliminate any undesirable high dynamic range.

...when you randomly walk into audio shops and look at anything and everything.

mralexosborn · Mar 18, 2011 at 10:54 PM

When you have more audio equipment than dollars...and I am 15...this isn't good.

You know you're an audiophile when Head-Fi is set as your home page.

you know youre an audiophile when you try to stay away from head-fi like a druggie trying to sober up

SpecterJin · Mar 19, 2011 at 12:03 AM

you went on a date with your gf and all you talked about was headphone and amp

You know you're an audiophile when you start associating headphone companies with times of the day.

Sennheiser = 4:14, 6:50, 5:55, 2:01
Grado = 1:25, 2:25, 3:25
AKG = 6:01, 7:01, 7:02, 2:40

There's plenty more, but I think that more than explains my point.

When your backpack has more headphones and accessories then textbooks and computers (3 textbooks, 2 computers, 14 different pairs of headphones)
You have a headphone for every event
When you're known as "the person with 14 different pairs of headphones"
You actively wear more then 3 headphones at a time.

Dobrescu George · Mar 19, 2011 at 12:53 PM

if you do not stay on head fi and read this you don;t know how to be an audiophile!..... joking.....

you are not an audiophile if you never heard of sennheiser, denon, audio tehnica, pioneer, yamaha, and cowon..... or hifiman.......

Dobrescu George · Mar 19, 2011 at 3:02 PM

you know you're an audiophile when you are watching TV, with your girlfriend, and when an promo for a car that costs 400.000$ shows up, she says "with that money i could buy a house!".... and you say "with that money i could buy the best rig in the world!".... and then you get slapped,but you keep dreaming about that rig...
