I think there are several simultaneously correct answers to your query...

My Hi Fi's main job is to please me while listening to music.

I used to think the job of the Hi Fi was to 'faithfully reproduce the sound of the recording,' now I don't care about that so much. Just play nicely and make me happy.

"Romance."

But then....

Sometimes, my Hi Fi is a toy I like to play with and I like seeing how different gear sounds and how things compare.

"Dating around."

Sometimes, I am interested in the treble, and how is it placed in the sonic spectrum; what are the bass characteristics, midrange clarity...really breaking down what I hear. What is in the finest minutiae of detail in the recording, is that the subway beneath Harry Belafonte? How much grain is in the recording?

"Gynecology."

Sometimes I am a faithful husband to my Hi Fi, sometimes I'm its gynecologist, and sometimes I cheat on it and play the field.

:D
