I think Tony has this one wrong, I don't think some here are against the definition of audiophile, i'm certainly not, the term seems to have morphed into something I don't personally care for, but seem to be stuck with, that is, someone with more money than sense when it comes to buying hifi equipment.
It's those who mock the hobby that are inverted snobs, not those who enjoy the hobby.
Seems to have become, yet another label, banded around by some on this thread too.
I would say, anyone who openly admits to being a snob, cannot aim the inverted snobbery tag at anyone else, in a derogatory way, as seen here recently, without coming over as a bit of an arse.
