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.

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.

Technically, it's a conditional, which implies a choice.

The difference between 'Stereophile' and 'Stereo Review' is like the difference between Lies and The truth.   As is usual today, The lies won.

clearthink,

You're correct, it was more of a statement, but you still need to chill.

Rok, old buddy I've missed you! I still have many issues of "Stereo Review" that I read with warm feelings of a glorious past; especially the cartoon.

I no longer subscribe to "Stereophile" because the times are long past when I could afford the equipment they review. TAS sent me a letter almost giving their magazine away, but I'm too old to be a dreamer, so I dropped it in the trash.

Whenever I listen to "Mingus", I think about you because I know you're somewhere doing likewise.

Unfortunately, I no longer have much time for chit chat; too busy dealing with reality.

It's good to know that you're in the land of the living.
