@jmcgrogan2 > "High End" is simply a state of mind, just like "Happy", and there is no scientific correlation as to what physical properties constitute a state of mind.

@teo_audio
Some years back I would have asked you just what have you been putting in your kool aid lately?
Now, I simply don’t want to know. In fact, I’m afraid to ask.
@geoffkait > Until you have even a little bit of experience with PWB stuff you really shouldn’t comment on what high end sound is.
Blindjim > uh, what and who are you talking about and to?
You did notice all of the words in the title at least, correct?
… HIGH END AUDIO
Nowhere did I intimate ‘sound’ as a particular criterion for defining what level of gear constitutes actual High end kit.. I felt to surface that aspect would be redundant.
@williewonka > Is it based on Price?, Performance? Component Matching? etc...
Blindjim > Thanks much. Build. Parts. Design. And more could dictate what a real high end component is, should one choose to use those as its defining credentials.
…and here’s the thing. Not everything made in audio can be considered High end merely by definition as the word ‘high’ dictates disparity, all by itself.
An iPhone is quite techy but certainly not High end Audio. Likewise, a Walkman or iPod doesn’t make the cut either.
Blue tooth formats, and compressed audio codecs such as MP3, WMA, are NOT high end audio contestants.
Plainly…. NOT everything is HIGH END.
Again, what makes up your mind in what is and what is not, High end audio, and or … where along the audio merchandise lineage does High end audio truly begin separating itself from the pack?
One would think from amongst the wisdom routinely shared around here this could be readily determined.
