The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity!


I think if we are going to keep this hobby accessible, and meaning anything we need to get rid of the expression "high end." In particular, lets get rid of the idea that money equals performance.


Lets get rid of the idea that there's an entry point to loving good sound.

I breeze past discussions on here that sound like they are of particularly good hearing and for all to stay tuned on what they think next . Get over yourself . Dont care . I’m not sure what to call myself . I have alot of gear. Mostly older 70s -2000s mcintosh and jbl , i buy it ,I put it together it sounds fantastic  . I dont buy into these ridiculous priced items . I think people arent all that bright spending into the law of diminishing returns. Maybe you should have bought land ? Its odd to me to have bragging rights over stuff like that when quite obviously nobody cares. 
I will use whatever vocabulary I feel is proper, appropriate, and fitting and will state that it is not for others hear to limit, restrict, or prevent others from expressing what they think, feel, and believe!

The difference between high end and high fi is your bank account; one is thousands of dollars higher than the other. Kind of like the difference between "Stereophile" and Stereo Review; one is "high-end" while the other was hi-fidelity.

Those who can no longer afford "high end", wish the term would just die, but that wont make your "lo-fi" sound any higher.
