By coincidence, I was asked just yesterday via PM if I were and Audiophile.
Here is my reply:
LOL
Depends on what it means but off the top of my head I would think I lack the sophistication associated with the term.
If anything, I am a shot and a beer type audiophile.
I think of myself as a guy who does not know much about audio just loves music.
I do place much value on aesthetics and bough my McIntosh stuff based on design and raw wattage.
It's most common for me to listen to music on a Saturday or Sunday with a football, basketball or soccer game on the tube not with my eyes closed absorbing every nuance.
and, I don't care how flawless the sound, I would never regularly sit in a basement build, perfectly treated room to listen to music. I need large windows and a view.
