Dr. Dre's attempt to reconstruct the "entire digital music ecosystem" has me thinking about the discerning group of consumers that drink sound in like a connoisseur with a fine wine. In other words, audiophiles.

Of course, like a fine wine, what constitutes quality for an audiophile is largely a matter of personal opinion. Dr. Dre wants to bring his brand of quality to the masses, but whether or not people will pay premium prices for it remains to be seen. So, out of curiosity, I am wondering how many of you would classify yourself as an audiophile. For those that do fall in that category, let us know what you look for in superior sound quality.
