The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity!

I think if we are going to keep this hobby accessible, and meaning anything we need to get rid of the expression "high end." In particular, lets get rid of the idea that money equals performance.


Lets get rid of the idea that there's an entry point to loving good sound.

I have come to believe that the term “high end” is an accommodation to those who would spend extra money, time and effort to attain a sound that is appealing to them, where as the term “high fidelity” existed for the purists for whom the quest to accurately replay what’s encoded in the recording.

”Fidelity” narrows the potential market.
