My experience is that low-fi recordings almost never sound *better* on a hi-fi system than they do on a lo-fi one - they simply sound *different* on the hi-fi system...The primary difference is that the bass is usually much better and more controlled when played back on a hi-fi system. Everything else about the lo-fi recording - the mids, the highs, the vocals, etc... - sounds as bad or even worse on the hi-fi system. A big part of the problem is that the balance between the highs, mids, and lows on some lo-fi recordings gets thrown out of wack on a hi-fi system. This happens when the lo-fi recording is made to be heard on a lo-fi system, rather than a hi-fi one.
Also, it is not my intention to diss Hip Hop as a musical genre. As I've said, I believe it has it's place in the Pantheon.
