What is “an audiophile”? My definition: an audiophile is someone who listens to music for extended periods of time for that sole purpose, not as an accompaniment or background to other activities.
In the process, an audiophile will develop an appreciation of variation in the performance of audio equipment, through active listening and comparison. An audiophile will also be inclined to spend a significant amount of their limited resources to further improve their listening experience, because listening to music is one of their priorities in life.
