OK, so what qualifies you to be an audiophile? ...

Is it the amount of money you have spent on your equipment?
Is it because you can tell the sound of snake-oil cables apart?
Is it the amount of years you have been listening to your Technics Hi-Fi?
Is it because you understand the meaning of words used to explain sound quality?
Is it because you are never satisfied with your gear and endlessly searching for better?
Is it because you have a turntable?
WHAT?

OK, OK... but seriously, I recently took one of my woofers out of the cabinet and did some work on it. Before I put it back  into the cabinet, I tested it... I was expecting to hear huge differences, but I could not. That made me think, "You are no audiophile" if you can not hear the difference. So ... What is it that makes you an audiophile? When do you qualify?
