You know you're an audiophile when....

...You have all your headphones terminated in 4-pin miniXLR and have adaptors made for all the different types of connections available, if not just in case, because you have gear that uses them all!
...You make the Japanese character for "sound" part of your child's name.

That last line...Only an audiophile would!

YKYAA when in your Music class the teacher assigns listening homework you actually buy the class cd with all the music on it rather than listening to the free 128kbs files the teacher has online.

So I left a comment on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv014RiqUio
 
I absolutely love the artists and think their music is great.  But the quality of it went way down when they released their first album.
 
I left this comment and got a pretty funny response:

I usually hate explaining about my cans or IEMs because people either think they are "too expensive" or recommend Beats "not some small company no one's ever heard of" and I spend ten minutes explaining about how these are brilliant cans/IEMs and it takes ages.

I use crap stock gear in public. And when friends laugh at me for using crap gear in comparison to their Beats or Skullcandy's, I then proceed to whip out my sexual IEMs.

I like to use MS1's in public 

 (doesn't block out sound at all)

Yeah, I sometimes find myself rocking my Stax setup in public. It doesn't block out sound at all either, but it does make everyone drop their jaw, and hence silence is produced.

I'd love to see someone using a Stax in public, got an amp for it in your backpack or anything?
Whenever I would see someone with a Stax I'd run, run like the wind, towards them, going on my knees to listen to them.
I have never heard a Stax before

Just like that kid that brought his 404's and Lambada's to school with his laptop and STAX amp.

I wish I had an amp for it to go in my backpack... If only, haha...

 

[davidsh]

Stax do make portable amps after all 

 
I wouldn't mind wearing my Stax in public if it wasn't for the lack of isolation and amping requirenments

You know you're an audiophile when you believed this and omitted common sense that it was released on April Fool's Day.

YKYAAW you are imagining those light bulbs as tube... Am I going too far? I saw my dad replacing it @.@

 
How about a light bulb rolling thread??

 

[streetdragon]

YKAAW when you draw artworks and use tube amps as your picture's primary lighting source.

 

[BillsonChang007]

YKYAAW your friend have to tell you that he learnt about audio files during his computer lesson (I don't take computer).


And its funny how he though he know better than me now... Until I mention about bit rate

About the cans in public thing... I wear my XB1000 around all the time and I even sometimes bring an E11 to make the whole thing even more unwieldy(and bassy lol).
