simply put, mid-fi is canned music, obvious from a distance. hifi is being in the intimate [virtual] presence of real live musicians as through through the sheerest of veils. the former is grainy and generic and tiring, the latter has the utmost of natural ease and is addictive.
HiFi vs MidFi
I’m a relative noob to the audiophile scene, having just invested in an integrated amp and upscale (for me) speakers. From time to time, I hear the term “MidFi” for some components. Is there an objective or just largely accepted definition for this term? I’d be curious to hear feedback on what constitutes HiFi vs. MidFi across various components.
