You Might Be An Audiophile If :

If your phono preamp cost more than most cars.

If there is more gold in your speaker system than your wedding ring.

Wedding ring matters not because she left as soon as she saw your setup.

You have been to jail for a loud stereo, PLAYING BACH.

Your stylus scale is directly traceable to the NBS.

You have a dedicated circuit for 120 volts 30 amps for your five WPC SET setup, but your deep freeze is running off of a nineteen cent drugstore extension cord.

Your speaker wires cost more than the fence around your backyard.

Your turntable weighs more than your refrigerator.

Your CD player has tubes.
(yes the ADC counts on this)

You have no idea what is in that box in the trunk of your car,
but you are sure it needs to be auditioned.

You have changed your cartridge load setting more than twice in the last year. (both resistance and capacitance for extra points)
