There is another channel where the host reviews what I consider to be luxury items which is interesting as he compares a lot of the gear that is priced among the top 20% of the industry. If you watch this video use headphones:
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.

@ghdprentice , that was a really interesting experience how your headphone system raised the bar. When I was considering adding a tube pre to my HT system I took your advice to keep systems that are different separate. You made a great call and all I did was improve the signal going into my processor (iFi SPDIF iPurifier, being fed by a Pangea toslink and Pangea ethernet cable). This was inexpensive, simple, but what it did was raise the performance of my multichannel/stereo listening on that system by reducing jitter and noise. This is what led me to the headphone question I asked. Black Ice audio is releasing Jim Fosgate designed headphone amp this summer, its tube based, has a dac, and I think THIS is how I get a tube based system. Thanks for posting.
