What does Hi-Fi Even Mean anymore?

Interesting article Thanks...

Interesting article which adress in NO way at all the Audio problem directly....

I am flabbergasted by the imperative of market consumerism on audiophile....

And all these men sells something.... Except the solutions....


 The history and evolution of tech and sources are interesting for sure...

But the definition of what is Hi-Fi is not linked to only and mainly to  the gear, but mainly to the way we install it in his working dimensions whatever it is .... 

High Fidelity - the movie! John Cusack, et al ...

Addresses in no way?  
I’d argue it addresses 80-90%.  Maybe more.  

Good luck finding unamplified music.
Even the buskers have battery smpsy.

Hey.  I just like switching on the steereo, sitting in my easy chair, and listening to a few tunes.  In the best audio fidelity I can reasonably muster.
