I don’t call myself an audiophile as most audiophiles only use music to analyse their equipment. I enjoy listening to music and have been doing so for more than 35 years.

Thats misunderstood to the words.
Audiophile literally means people who love musics.

Those who analyse music are ppl who love the 3d soundstage and effect created by their speakers. Those technically are stereophiles

“Audiophiles are more interested in the gear while music lovers are more interested in the music.”

This is the general consensus when using the term audiophile. That’s why I stay away from it.

Thats because stereophile claim themself to be audiophile.. hahahah
But literally the word phile = like, eg: hydrophylic=things that have tendency to attach to water / water loving.
While the -philic usually denoting an affinity for or inclination towards a specified thing. Hence audio-phile was originally used to describe people who love music a lot. But then the borderline gets blur. Even those who listen to effects now also call themself music lover when they realise audiophile has a certain negative meaning to it.

Previoisly i also like to lable myself away from those stereophile who listen to train running across effect, glass shattering sound ect ect. But after i grow old, i realise theres no wrong or right. As long as they spend their money and be happy with it. Some people spend money to hear song because they enjoy the song. Some other people spend money to hear effect also they are happy. Some enjoy both. As long as the setup suits the need and create happiness. Its just fine.

2nd post sudah cari gaduh, 4th post sudah mula gaduh pasal terminology/gear. That's the old timer audiophile spirit alrite rclxm9.gif

Me not really audiophile, small time wannabe only  tongue.gif

Got some gear from here too, via Bulk Orders (used to be a huge deal when online shopping was still in its infancy hehe, thanks se7en notworthy.gif ) when they first(?) came out:
- koss ksc-75
- philips hp-1000
- acoustic energy aego 2
- iBasso d1 & crossroads mylar3 , from jaben boss's early days
- superlux hd-668b (maybe i got this from lelong, can't remember sweat.gif )

I pretty much abandoned my pursuit for better audio, quite a while ago moneyflies.gif bye.gif

Hope you got yours and are happy with them though cool.gif

Its just healthy discussion.
Different people are subjected to different opinion. As long as the boundary of using nice words are adhere and it doesnt turn into offensive discussion with name calling or describing"yo mama", i dont see harm at all for exchange of opinion.

I don't post much online these days but I never quite stop on buying new gears, except these days I am more onto earbuds (NOT IEM, but old school flat earbuds) and USB dongles, given I listen mostly on smartphone
