  • Member Contest #2: Most Passionate Audiophile

    Passion. Dedication. Opinions. Attention to detail. Leaving no stone unturned in their quest for the Holy Grail. A little/lot nuts. (Though a little nuts is like being a little pregnant: either you are or you aren’t.) Clearly these are just some of the qualities that define audiophiles.

    Cast your vote for the member you think best defines audiophilia and would make the best ambassador for our hobby! Winner receives a $50 gift certificate to either Acoustic Sounds or Elusive Disc.

    Remember the poll ends January 31, 2018!
