Audiphilism: n. A disease where the sufferer insists he/she could have heard the 'tree falling in the forest" if only they had higher frequencies in their tweeters and more resonance in their subwoofers. Most sufferers will never hear or see a tree.
Audiophiles have no interest in the origination of the sound or talent inolved but like moths to a flame, are driven to the purity of the light/sound .Bats have been known to do this for eons, but since bats don't buy speakers marketers have somehow failed to corner the bat market. (Although a little noticed study is working on night vision goggles for bats that if proven, will be bought heavily by the US military).
Audiophilistic: adj. A total rejection that talent or construction outside the electronic is acceptable. Audiophile would never accept wood as an acceptable medium. Resonance has to be predictable and controlled. Thefore to be audiphilistic one cannot allow outside influence. An inert casing, impervious to temperature or mood is best. Wood is worst. To be audiophilistic a person must never dream of Dryads, may possibly remember diodes, but must be able to discuss decibel drop!
Bored: adj, People assailed by audiophiles. People who just want to hear the damned song. These victims usualy have to endure a NASA electronic education combined with an Feng Shui exortaion on speaker placement plus the acceptable levels of ampage per channel. Audiophilistic Audiophiles suffering from Audiolism are invariably tone deaf to anything outside the System, and out of tune to the person saying "Can we just play the music?" They all seem to like blowing in the wind. (But only if the wind can be heard through a better/bigger/smaller/expensive/dealIcouldn'tpassup, sound system).
