HiFi vs MidFi

can’t help but wonder if he speaks like that in real life

sadly, in this case, he might  😷

@hilde45

when i scan replies to a given post, there are some usernames -- once i see them, i simply keep the page scrolling right past the jibberish, don’t even read em anymore

remember the old dilbert comic strips? "blah blah blah blah blah blah room treatment" ... and so on

good for our sanity and positive attitude to treat those similarly, i think  🙉

as usual @mikelavigne speaks wisely to the heart of the matter

in this case, @millercarbon as well

i agree wholeheartedly with the key points of 'state of mind', and the idea that real hifi can/does exist at modest price points... one just needs the passion, knowledge, expended effort to bring the pieces together 

mid fi as a term is derogatory, for sure

but i have perhaps unwelcome news for those who think the law of diminishing returns kicks in at a grand, you are very very very wrong

if people know what they are doing, and have a workable room, immediately noticeable, better sounding systems result from more $ spent, well into 5 and 6 figures

you don’t need golden ears, just functional normal hearing and a decent appreciation for music
