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.
any old timer audiohile still active?, Say hi

QUOTE(PcWork @ May 17 2024, 10:42 PM) Thats misunderstood to the words. “Audiophiles are more interested in the gear while music lovers are more interested in the music.”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 This is the general consensus when using the term audiophile. That’s why I stay away from it. |

QUOTE(PcWork @ May 18 2024, 12:12 PM) Thats because stereophile claim themself to be audiophile.. hahahah Very true bro. To each, their own. Anyway music is life and I can’t imagine a life without it. I was also a former musician and released an instrumental album in 2002 as a passion project. 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. Enjoy the music! This post has been edited by aceedburn: May 18 2024, 12:27 PM Quazacolt liked this post

QUOTE(fourzee @ Jul 4 2024, 08:25 PM) some listen to music and some listen to equipments .. but definitely your favorite music type will determine which or what brand equipment you go for .. Agreed. That’s why I get pissed off when people use the term audiophile so lightly. Here’s the Cambridge definition of the term Audiophile. I stopped at streaming music and playing music saved on usb drives. gave up on CDs and never dared to join the vinyl bandwagon .. “a person who is very interested in and enthusiastic about equipment for playing recorded sound, and its quality. “ I consider myself a “Musicphile”. I enjoy music in its original form and only believe my ears in what sounds best to me. Not graphs, equipment testers or reviews. My own set of ears always prevails. Period! Quazacolt liked this post
