    Default Audiophilia-sometimes its healthy to make fun of yourself

    http://www.progressiveears.com/Default.asp?bhcp=1

    Above audiophile thread from a major prog discussion forum.
    It starts getting humorous/excessive halfway down the page (2) with "Bmooncd"'s post. (Looks like, contrary to your usual Prog= tech/computer nerd misrepresentation, most progheads are not into audiophilia.)

    PS -dont get the wrong impression. Wallace,Prince of Eagles, does not abhor audiophilism. (What Wallace DOES abhor is the kareoke-ego-mentality DJ culture).
    Actually Wallace is a jealous audiophile-wannabee (unable to effect the Dream due to a unfair penury of necessary brass.)

    ....
    Okay, just noticed the above link does not get you direct to the post.

    Hit "OT forum" on the Main List (upper left) , then at the bottom of the page, hit "older posts".

    The thread is about 4 threads down.
    Titled "How much of an audiophile are you?"
