RE: You Might Be An Audiophile If :

"Looking at your background, I would hardly consider you an average Joe in audio or music."

Me, no I guess I am not. Designed and built, and cobbled together some systems that really did sound good. And yes I can get flat response out of the speakers if I want it.

Where I actually made some money was in projection TVs, mainly three tube jobs. It is a somewhat complex field dealing with convergence, dynamic focus and all that, but toward the end of their heyday they did produce good pictures.

Nowadays, if I don't find bad caps right away the thing is scrap. I charge twenty bucks to see if it MIGHT be worth fixing. Sorry but I didn't design it, I didn't build it, I didn't sell it and I certainly didn't buy it. So this is the best way. Some places charge alot more than twenty bucks.

But yes, I am not a casual observer of the field, to say the least.
