Are you really interested in 'Hi-Fi'?

[Pano]

Wow, this thread is off to a good start. Should we just rename it "The Tube Bashing Thread"?

Your definition of "Hi-Fi" may not be the same as someone else's. Highly Faithful (fidel) to what?

Go to my website. Look at the Articles section on this website. Look at the Company Store website. I think you can use a keyboard and a mouse all by yourself, right?

I'm sure I'll manage. I apologise for my naivety towards your fame.

What the original recording was. We hope it was recorded for frequency flat systems otherwise we would all be in a right pickle.

All the time. Once a month.
Here is still active one of such discussions, almost thousand of posts already. Statements in the beginning are much more humble than yours.
Sound Quality Vs. Measurements

That hope won't get you very far in the world of recorded music, I'm afraid. The vast majority of recording are an interpretation, not a neutral archive of the event. Those don't sell.

I assume you mean the signal that is recorded on the disc? Just asking to be clear.

I think the key to an intelligent and informative discussion is realise that some people are entrenched in their positions, but to defend to the end, their right to be wrong.
My comment about the similarity to the Pointless Argument thread was meant to be humerous. My apologies if it seemed trollish.

I have had a quick look through this thread but my question is whether one prefers a high fidelity approach or feet up in front of the tube amp kind of listening!

I truly believe sound can me measured, why not at the end of the day? Why is it any different to your TV for example?
