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 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.

Chill clearthink. It wasn't a command, just a question seeking opinions.

roxy54" It wasn't a command, just a question seeking opinions."

Actually it was not a question at all it was a statement but I will not embarass you about this because it is very possible that English is not your native language which is also the case for me and it can be a very difficult language to master you should re-read the OP and the headline and you will probably see what I mean.
