High End jargon; your take


I've been around here for a good while now and read these terms frequently. Looked at some of the audio glossaries on the net. I still don't feel I have a good handle on their meaning. What do these terms mean to you?

"Tight" as in "the bass became more tight."

"Hi Fi" as in "it sounds "hi fi" (as opposed to high end)

"Warm" as in "warm bass."

Thanks

Entrope, "Tight = several drinks into the evening"

Personally, my goal is that she would be loose at that point.

We agree on warm, which my aim is to go hand in hand with loose.
My take is these words mean different things to different people so make sure you ask questions to truly know what the other person means when they use a high end jargon term to describe something.
>>i'll stop now before i am accused of pedantry and being overly didactic<<

It's hardly an accusation.
Tight = What you feel when the bartender says, "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here."

HI Fi = your self congratulatory response when you realize you're the last one there, thinking you won, but couldn't say High Five!

Warm = The feeling you get when being awakened by the neighborhood stray 'cause you couldn't make it into the house the night before.... it's just like being awakened by a horse, except less pressure.

How about this still more ambiguous term?

"Musical" ...as in "it was exceptionally musical."

I'm thinking it's not the sound of pots and pans or cats in heat, unless you're in the Bahamas or the alley passed out again, trying to give the stray with the bladder problem the slip by taking an alternative route.

Or maybe something with Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers in it.
