I guess that depends on YOUR definition of an audiophile. As an audiophile I'll give you mine, the easy version.

A person who assembles a system in hopes that it can reproduce recorded music in as high a fidelity as possible. What is high fidelity? Well, that varies from person to person.


Now, why don't you give me your definition. This way I can better understand why you think my statement is a contradiction. Because I am not contradicting my definition of what I believe an audiophile is. Yes, my system is completely musically satisfying to me!!!
