Audiophile

Someone who is obsessive about audio quality. This includes audio formats, audio equipment, and ripping processes/programs (I.E. Exact Audio Copy). Audiophile's usually have "trained" ears and are able to distinguish the difference between high quality and bad quality music encoding/components through blind testing.
Person: "Hey will you load this CD on to my computer for me while I go grab something to eat?"

Audiophile: "Sure. Do you want it compressed or lossless?"

Person: "What?"

Audiophile: "What format do you want? ALAC, AIFF, VBR, CBR, AAC, OGG, WMA, WAV?"

Person: "Uhhh..."

Audiophile: "I'll go ahead and rip the CD to FLAC level 8, and you can convert it with dBpoweramp to whatever you want later."

Person: "....kay."

audiophile

Audiophile is a word that is commonly used in some underground communities to mean a person who passionately enjoys music, generally to the extent in that it causes euphoria and/or arousal, whether spiritual or sexual. Many audiophiles generally favor music with deep bass.

"Ken always looks so euphoric when the bass sets in at the concert, he's a shameless audiophile."

Audiophile

An insufferable person, very similar to cycling enthusiasts who can't shut the fuck up about some part or piece of gear.
Likely to recommend overpriced audio equipment, goes to a party and comments on sound quality.

Frequently preys on normal people (and/or musicians) looking to buy normal, reasonably priced equipment.

If confronted with audiophiles, consider the following steps:
Doff ear protection.
Ensure that the audiophile is not wearing ear protection.
Rattle off some extremely loud firearms, explosives, fireworks, etc.
The audiophile is now (equalized).

Not to be confused with pedophile, although there is likely some overlap.
