Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"?
Given the vast range of product and costs thereof in this industry, I'm curious where the "break points" are between levels of fidelity? Equipment can range from $100's to $100,000s+, so where is "MIDFI" vs. "HIFI"?
The ear hears from a range of 20-20,000HZ, but mid-range is certainly not at the 10,000HZ level.
just curious what you all think.
the diference is not related just to price but rather design intent and execution
low fi is generally related to companies using inexpensive parts and lacking a dedication to sound quality usually sold based on features/measurements
midfi companys's pursue sound quality over just cost usually uses better parts then low fi highfi companys'devoted to sound quality over anything else

@audiotroy , what did you think of the video by Thomas? |
@audiotroy +1 The backlash against HEA equipment is approaching a comical level. IMO the Youtube audio community has perpetuated this negative attitude. One must realize this is an important form of revenue for many of the Youtubers that push inferior audio products. Another angle is a form of "brainwashing" the masses that very little money is needed to create a "state of the art" audio system. To create a true HEA system takes knowledge/time/flexibility(open mind) and unfortunately a sufficient amount of financial resources are needed. |
