Today you rarely here that term used. Pre 1970's audiophile was used quite often. One was proud to be defined as an audiophile.

With the advent of HD television and the Ipod "Geeks" appear to be the name one hears today. Audio appears today to take a back seat behind computer produced music and television.

The American Heritage Dictionary definds Audiophile " A high fidelity audio hobbist "
The complete Guide to High End Audio definds it as "A person who values sound quality in reproduced music "

I personally think most of those who listen to audio today or "Geeks " there are exceptions.
What do you all think ?
