When you stop listening to music and only listen to your gear.. 

 

[Swatcsi]

When, your leave a university party, and the only thing you can think of is listening to music on your rig when you get back, then decide to surf Head-Fi at 4:30am.

What do either of those terms mean in the realm of audio?
They have no objective meaning, and are used to sell cables to idiots.

Somehow it seems to be the other way around. The more I click around "audiophile" stuff, the more gold suddenly disappears from "my pockets".

Alchemists tried really hard to turn lead into gold but always failed,
 
while audio gurus have no problem transforming hard-earned gold into OFHC copper!!

Having read this whole thread I think the last thing on earth I'd want to call myself is an audiophile. I'm just a guy who loves listening to music and is willing to invest in equipment to make it sound as good as I can afford. 

That is what you would call an intelligent audiophile . The fact that we spend exorbitant amounts of money on audio equipment makes us audiophiles (sometime audio-fools lol). I would never have considered spending $1000.00 on Custom IEMs a year ago. Not even $300 for that matter...

Or when you can only think about listening to music on your way home through your portable rig you bring practically everywhere.
I should get some CIEM's though. Makes carrying my rig around a lot less trouble.

Let me guess, iPod + Mini3 + HD25?
Heh, at least yours are small enough. I use my HE-300s for portable use >.>

You are exactly right in that. When I go to school I can luckily put my rig in my bag when not listening to it, but it isn't rare to see me wearing my cans around my neck if I don't have anywhere to put them.
Aren't the HE-300's a bit big for portable use though? You should get some dedicated portable cans or IEM's
