    I see it as sort of like "mensch"

    It's something you can say about another to confer being thought of highly.

    When one uses it in terms of oneself, it loses it's meaning and becomes pure self-aggrandizement.

    i.e, one can strive for it, but one can never proclaim it for oneself.

    An audiophile basically strives for the best sound possible within his resources.
    And that is a lot of peeps on this board.
    Including me.
    Typical Markw statement, of course.

    I've noticed that anyone claiming themselves to be an audiophile tends to be a pompus sphincter who believes they are more important than they really are.

    Thanks for providing a working example to prove my point, pix.

    I believe, in the vernacular of the net, that is called being "pwned".

    Whatever that means.
    Whatever it is, its like karl mark calling somebody else a commie pinko.
    MARKW is the most pompous of the "pomp" on this board,
    or just about anywhere else in the known universe.
