More potential bad news for some big names...

Hey. That’s you in there ya? Awesome. Love the lift and dial going vertical flat in a second and a half. Now if we just had those led red leds on the lower dash with double gauges on audio gear - well I am in. Bravo - thanks for sharing. Very cool.  

All these Lo-Fi brands will die with the Retailers that sell them. 

I dont think that Fosi will die for example ...

The definition of what is low-fi versus High-fi could had meaning when the public had not easy access to knowledge as nowadays...

Excellence of design at any price for any and each one needs is not compatible With expression borderline to marketing insults..

My system at 1000 bucks dont rival Jay high end product for sure but is more than very good and i dont need it at all any high end product , thanks to mechanical,electrical and acoustical basic controls and synergy and wise choice...

By the way my Sansui and My AKG K340 were top of the world product 35 years ago and it is enough for me especially because i was even able to improve them...

There is no low fi, mid-fi or high fi, for me only excellence at all price for all needs and acoustics knowledge and principle put at work or not ...

All these Lo-Fi brands will die with the Retailers that sell them.

I'm not sticking up for Andrew Robinson but he related a story about audio snobbery in the old days when you'd walk in to listen to something and how it compared to buying his first Ferrari as a youngster and being treated like a nobody because of his age and the way he dressed. 

If you're going to insult someone, know that someone.

All the best,

Younger less wealthy folks better get with the program and help boost the hi end stuff that increasingly  fewer neither want nor can afford.
