High End jargon; your take


I've been around here for a good while now and read these terms frequently. Looked at some of the audio glossaries on the net. I still don't feel I have a good handle on their meaning. What do these terms mean to you?

"Tight" as in "the bass became more tight."

"Hi Fi" as in "it sounds "hi fi" (as opposed to high end)

"Warm" as in "warm bass."

Thanks

Entrope, "Tight = several drinks into the evening"

Personally, my goal is that she would be loose at that point.

We agree on warm, which my aim is to go hand in hand with loose.
I agree with the above comments, even if my own personal opinion is that the Q scale is skewed a bit low for my tastes. I realize these are the historical numbers, but I feel a value of 0.5 is beyond ascetic. Then again, there are a lot of guys who think the younger Kate Moss was the ideal, so who am I to say? Going against the traditional figures of 0.7 being ideal and 1.0 being on the voluptuous side, I feel 1.0 is pretty close to reality, the right balance of all parameters.
Here in Pennsylvania, when driving an automobile between dusk and dawn, the driver is required to stop after 1 mile, and fire up a flare. If no response is received within 10 minutes, the driver may proceed.

Of course, he must stop after traveling another mile and repeat the process, and so on and so on...
