Post Subject: Sounds Like No (ie, Music Killed Hi-Fi)Posted by Paul S on: 5/16/2026
Romy, you must know I have very little interest (and zero "faith") in "conventional hi-fi practice", including "high-end" (especially high-end), for pretty much the reasons you dismiss it, and specifically because I choose to deal directly with my own perceptions. Would you also say that the study and enjoyment of Music via electro-mechanical means is not only personal, but nothing about it can be shared? This idea seems self-negating to me, like an oxymoron. Likewise the notion that changes in sound cannot be judged good or bad. Sure, there needs to be relevant context, but isn't that pretty much what we've tried to do here? Reading your posts from early days to the present, you now seem to be saying either you have simply lost interest in your own legacy, or you just don't want to try to talk about it directly anymore, or both. Sorry, the phrase just came to me: "Falling on deaf ears."
