@nonoise You are the last person on this forum that should even begin to talk about civil discourse. The worst offender, and the most caustic personality......here to enforce "Political Correctness". I needed that laugh, thank you 😁
Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation.
I have to say the timing of the folks over at eacoustics in impeccable.
So Kevin Deal at Upscale release his Video on Raven Audio giving us something to chew on in this forum and W. Jennings gives us this.

Consistent with my rant about signal theory on the previous page here, yes. Its a label. A phrase (or word) describing a characteristic of something, which conveys some intrinsic and valuable information. What else can it be? And it rhymes, and that’s pretty cool. |
Are most Chinese actually offended by the term "Chi-fi"? Or is this a case of bored whytes being offended on behalf of how they think other people should respond. In any case, there is still a lot of junk and cheap knock-offs being produced in China, with little to no oversight, and it’s not unreasonable to tag it appropriately. "Chi-fi" seems appropriate, as China is uniquely capable of swamping a market with such goods. There’s also some really nice stuff being made in China, and I have no problem considering it for purchase. What do Chinese audiophiles think of "Chi-fi"? And do we need to draw the line to demarcate "Chi-fi" versus "hi-fi, made in China" - or is it already incredibly apparent (e.g. a $500 tube amp on Amazon versus Line Magnetic)? And as pointed out, a lot of true high-end gear is already a hybrid manufacture, with parts and/or processing sourced in China. That doesn't fall under the "Chi-fi" label either, IMO. |
@yuviarora , of course you'd say something as inane as that. Worse offender? Don't make me laugh. As for being PC, far from it. Just calling a spade a spade. When did it become normal to whine about PC when someone is just pointing out the obvious? You guys cry wolf way too often. All the best, |
