'upgrading'
From the Collins English Dictionary - 'upgrade':
1) to assign or promote (a person or job) to a higher professional rank or position
2) to raise in value, importance, esteem, etc
3) to improve (a breed of livestock) by crossing with a better strain
4) U.S. and Canada - an upward slope
5) 'on the upgrade' - improving or progressing, as in importance, status, health, etc
I think it is generally witnessed and perpetuated that money enables one to 'upgrade' in a direct and reciprocal relationship, such that upgrading also enables one to earn more money, and so the cyclical headache on its axis of lifestyle and fertility fuels its own illimitable insanity.
I think the word 'upgrade' should be banned from the hifi lexicon
, and then from our lives altogether, maybe ease a few folks yearnings and upsets, and maybe adjust the painful equation between money and quality of life.
:chunder: :cry:
A pedantic technicality you may argue, when discussing the development or evolution of hifi (or anything else), but one which i think is important. Of course the monthly literature and advertising leviathans are only too well aware of this element of psychology.
