Do you really need a tweaked out audiophile system to listen to hip hop? I am always noting how much better a lot of rock sounds in my car than on the big rig, and I bet hip hop is even more noticeably better.
OK I'll come out and say it: most hip hop does not need an audiophile system to sound good, and sounds better out of lo fi gear.
And the alternative; jazz is unlistenable through low fi gear and absolutely requires a refined system.
Why does AA have a hip hop thread and no JAZZ thread?
I don't mean to rain on the three users of the hip hop thread but I'm sure there are hundreds of better places on the internet that are populated with younger and much cooler fans than here.
