When I hear "audiophile", I truly never think about licking the banana-plugs, so nope.
There are also some popular YT channels like Computerphile and Numberphile
Cinephile is another common term.
to be frank, "Numberwang" is more titillating than "Numberphile"
That’s Numberwang!
Let's rotate the board!
Yeah another user mentioned those two too. The interesting part is that they have used a mixture of english and greek. For example Numberphile uses the enlish word "number" instead of the proper Arithmophile. I wonder if this is to make it easier to understand
The reason that a linguist would give is that -phile has become a somewhat productive suffix in English, so it is not constrained to Greek roots.
