I read somewhere (don't remember where) that people listen to their music but audiophiles listen to their stereos! I believe that audiophile-ness is only one extreme end of the spectrum where only hardware quality matters (along with quality of recording) but the content never gets evaluated in terms of music sense.
And hence, many modern day "audiophiles" prefer not to be called one.
