HiFi vs MidFi

SPEAKERS, that’s where real differences can truly be heard, and there, progressive improvements are low, mid, high, unbelievable! The price of speakers is proportional: low, mid, high, unbelievable. Of course there is marketing muddle, but the functional and sound differences are readily understood and heard.

................................................................

Next: match the correct speakers to the listening environment. BIG differences

Next, feed what content into those speakers? BIG differences

Next: what equipment ’chain’ feeds the content. Each ’thing’ may or may not make a difference, the degree of difference relative to the speakers, and listening space is very slight if real, the power of expectation bias is HUGE and must be guarded against.

...........

Now, analog chain: happy days to you, enjoy the chase. avoiding problems a big part of success

Now, digital chain: happy days to you, enjoy the chase, not for me.

Labels always do injustice to truth. Categorizing, stereotyping and dividing.  Some strange posts in this thread.  Since the only measure that matters is ones own ears, I would submit that when you hear music so well presented you are moved to tears or can feel what the creator is trying to achieve you have found the "Fi" that matters.  Enjoy it.  Enjoy it to the point where you could care less what anyone else thinks of your system. Smile at the people who want to argue over brand x and brand y while you cue up your own piece of audio nirvana.  

I believe mid-fi now is better than hi-fi was at some point before.

With a taste of a single SET amp, I may have to give the edge to SET on fidelity vs PP amplification, Have another SET arriving in 2 weeks.

Will keep you guys posted.

If a winner, then unequivocally I have to place SET as king of amplification.

AS for speakers/high fidelity ,, you know how I feel about that contest.

No need to reiterate, and be-labor that point.
