Post Subject: Can Music Survive Hi-Fi?Posted by Paul S on: 5/7/2026
Yes, Music can live through hi-fi, as I know from my own
experience. But I’m the “Degree Guy”, after all, so I will qualify this afirmation by saying it appears to me that the system developer-and-user might or might
not get more than they understand of Music or level 1 sound at any point during
system development-or-use. While this (ironically) means that someone might
actually get Music or Hi-Fi (or both) from a non-personalized system (something
someone else developed), this is the serendipity we talk about around these
parts, and the lucky guy is also ripe for a letdown; at least this is so when
the lucky guy does not understand the relationships between Sound and Music and
Gear and Implementation, not to mention Aesthetics, which are always personal,
in terms of results. Succinctly, if it isn’t repeatable, it’s random, and if
it’s random, then what is it, anyway? Sure, there are plenty of examples where
nobody is concerned or motivated by these thoughts. But one has to wonder that
someone has read this far if this is the case for them. Anyone?>>
