In this podcast I discuss my random thoughts about what is an audiophile and audio enthusiast. I haven't done any scientific research or polls; I am just basing my conclusions off of my personal experiences and observations.   I am an audiophile; I am pursuing an accurate, natural and realistic reproduction of instruments and vocals.
