...when you start reading electronics engineering books in give yourself a better understanding of headphone amplifiers during high school

Head-Fier
When you put your hands over your headphones like you did as a kid when you had crappy cans..
When any digital content below lossless is unacceptable
When you claim certain equipment is more "musical" than others
When you swear you hear a difference after buying an AC power purification system for your stereo (ok this actually can have a difference if your house was wired in 1950)
When you check your mailbox daily for Stereophile magazine (or any other type of audio magazine)
When you constantly experiment with your setup (headphone, desktop/shelf, full stereo setup)
When you know the subtle differences between horn, cone and planar monitors with your eyes closed
and most of all.. when you see anyone using anything made by Bose, you get angry. haha.

I find that I can't read and listen to music at the same time. A few times I've tried reading an article in Stereophile magazine only to find that after the song ended I had realized that all I was doing was staring at the article on the page and not reading it.
And vice versa.
After I've finished reading the article I actually don't remember the details of the song that was playing at the time I was reading. (Where did that guitar solo go?)--huh?
haha +1 happened so many times

When you start listening to music late at night, so its quiet enough to actually hear all the subtleties of the music without having to turn things up obnoxiously loud

When you stew in your sweat every day in the 27 (that's 83 for yanks) degree heat in your apartment because the a/c and fan disturb the sonic background.
I came up with a new term: audiogearophile
