I am looking for a name for an idea that I have for a website. It is a niche hobby, but there is a greek word for it that most people don't know. Lets say its a book club and the word was Bibliophile or a music club called Melophile.

Would you, if you did not know the meaning, think of it as something sexual, or maybe even something bad? I am nervous that users might relate it to pedophile even though that is just one of, (but maybe best known) philias there are

"one who pays too much for speaker cables"

A true audiophile can tell the difference between when its wound clockwise vs anticlockwise. /s

I always refer to myself as “a bit of an audiophile” because I went and researched a ton to get a particular amp and not your typical Sony speakers/ soundbar. And I just have particular interest in nice sound reproduction.

But my speaker cables are just about as cheap as you can get.

Mine are the remnants of a vacuum cleaner power cord. There's a lot of copper there, and a lot of rubber between them.
