audiophile

One who enjoys sex acts involving the ear.
After they stopped kissing, Jenny felt something touch her ear. She sighed. Why did she always end up with the audiophiles?

audiophilism

The philosophy of extracting all of the possible sonic and acoustical capabilities out of high fidelity stereos, or home theater equipment into that of a more correct representation that mimics the original audio recording. This can be done through several methods. The main ingridients for this philosophy are "separation and isolation" of audio frequencies, electro magnetic interference, vibration and resonance, and radio frequency interference. Another ingredient is that the conductance between electric audio signal transfer must also be kept high with low resistant materials being present within the specific components' circuitry. The most accurate type of amplification of this audio signal must be applied in order to hear music at desired audible levels with the least amount of harmonic distortion.
Through the practice of audiophilism I am able to provide an excellent soundstage and stereo imagery within my acoustically treated listening room.

audiophilability

Audiophilability is the direct embodiment of one's ability as an audiophile to distinguish the good from the bad, the 50 cent from the Ice Cube, the Sony Xplod from the Audison Theses of the acoustic world. One can increase one's audiophilability simply by talking in such a way that suggests, like many academics, they actually know very little about their subject matter. Indeed, one can purchase more audiophilability by selling just about everything they own to buy the next amp with a special electron coating that allows you to really feel the music...
Dayum! TheyDon'tWantMusic's audiophilability has just shrunken to new lows with that last comment about Digital Designs being good for SQ....

audiophile

"A lover of sound"
However as most people are lovers of music etc, the term audiophile points to people who love high end audio equipment and can distinguish between good speakers and bad ones, which cables to use, and can tell what bitrate an mp3 file is at... etc etc etc.
Audiophiles usually argue to the death as to which setup is best
'those monitors sound muddy as all hell'
"what? how can you tell good sir? I hear nothing wrong!"
'cuz i'm an audiophile you filthy monkey!'
