I was an audiophile "from Latin audio "I hear" and Greek philos "loving" long before I even experimented with modding my Father´s garrard TT. Only now I can consider myself as a DIYer.

The common use of the term "audiophile" isn't a direct translation of the Greek roots.

See here Audiophile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia the second paragraph:
"Audiophile values may be applied at all stages of music reproduction: the initial audio recording, the production process, and the playback, which is usually in a home setting. High-end audio refers to expensive, high-quality, or esoteric products and practices used in the reproduction of music. Electronic gear used by audiophiles can be bought at specialist shops and websites.[4] Audiophiles can purchase special recordings made with extra attention to sound quality, some being special audiophile-oriented reissues, as well as recordings in high-resolution formats such as Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio. Many modern audiophiles also take advantage of lossless file formats such as WAV, FLAC, WMA Lossless, and Apple Lossless.". See also here Audiophile - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary : ": a person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction". This one is the most common and most acceptable definition of audiophile. It means that an audiophile is dedicated to HIGH-FIDELITY, or high quality sound reproduction. It's different from simple "loving sound". |
