then you're confusing the term with prejudices
seriously ... technically that's what you're doing
regards,
I am not making that judgement but the term, as many others, is often used by outsiders as a label for stereotypical and strange behavior.
OTOH, I do consider myself an audiophile and I am comfortable with the label.
I know ... but cliche` is shorter to type!
Wiki pages are fairly representative of current trends, and the term isn't reflected as derogatory there ... didn't encounter it as a negative in the main, so to speak, elsewhere either
just because a writer decided to frame it as such doesn't validate his opinion, and it isn't a representation of any wider perception aligning with it as far as I can tell ... and I looked! nope, he speaks for himself about his own 'bubble' and he's talking out of his ass IMO
see for yourself!
with regards,
when did that happen?
it's generally defined as a listener that cares about fidelity in music reproduction ... seems like a perfectly serviceable word to me
regards,

huh ... I thought Wiki pages changed faster than that and were more reflective of current culture ... ah well
what would be a good substitute term?
stereofetishist? audiosnob? multichanneltroll? foolwithpartedmoney?
gearheadearhead! uhm ... 'Bob'?

well, we were all kids once
I'm still chuckling over Covid69
that was inspired!
best regards,
