Audiophiliac 

The name often given to severe audio enthusiasts. Made famous by Robert Bisek for the wide spectrum of audio he could hear.

Dick was considered an audiophiliac. Jane was amazed that he could accurately discern analog from digital audio signals.

audiophilia nervosa

Audiophilia nervosa describes the anxiety resulting from the never-ending quest to obtain the ultimate performance from one's stereo system by means of employing state-of-the-art components, cables, and the use of certain "tweaks."

Although the goal is supposedly to achieve maximum appreciation of the music, those afflicted with this condition are merely obsesed with their electronics.

Todd had spent well over $100,000 in speakers,monoblock amplifiers, fiber optic cables, Shakti stones, pre-amolifiers, and other equipment and tweaks. And yet he still wasn't convinced that Diana Krall's voice sounded "silky" enough.

Todd was in deep denial concerning his audiophilia nervosa, and his wife was on the verge of calling a divorce lawyer.

audiophiliosis

A disease of the mind resulting in one believing that the only good audio system is one that costs over US$20,000 and that stray magnetic fields in components through the audio path will distort the purity of the audio image righteously placed with loving care by holy Audio Engineers in the studio for your listening pleasure.

Man, my friend paid $175 for this stone that's supposed to clear up magnetic flux and improve sonic purity; he put it on his amplifier. Now it looks like a rock on his amp and I can't hear any difference when we listen to Megadeth. That dude has serious audiophiliosis.

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....

The philosophy of extracting all of the possible sonic and accoustical capabilities out of high fidelity equipment (stereos Home Theaters) into that of a more correct representaion that mimics the original audio recording. This can be done through several methods. The main ingredients for this philosophy are "sepperation and isolation" of audio frequencies, electro magnetic interference, vibration and resonance, and radio frequency interferance.

Audiophillia 

The practice of gaining sexual pleasure from hearing others when they engaged in sexual activity.

Kim: Wow, thats couple in the next room must be really going at it.

Laurie: I know, its audiophillia. Its such a turn-on.
