HiFi vs MidFi
So HIFI poisoned Snow White?  I'm so confused 
HiFi vs MidFi
HIFI is defiantly different than MidFi.  I lived with MidFi for years good but never great.  Once you lived with HIFI you know the difference.  I relate it to once you've see a photo taken with a superior lens the clarity and depth and colors are ...

To me this forum is a lot like high school. There are cliques, posers and stars. I’m as susceptible to acceptance as anyone and admit when someone responds to a post I made there is that Sally Fields moment that "They like me, they really like me"... 
How Do You Learn?
Your ears are the only source that matters.  You either hear it or you don't.  Expecting a single source to provide you the same thing your ears tell you is pretty naive.  To learn what's really going on in HIFI you need to collect as much input a...

On ''what there is''
“It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the—if he—if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement. … Now, if someone had asked me on that day, ar...
