Half baked -

It's like a baker who bakes in an oven that is always 30 degrees too cool. Given the same recipe, a $50,000 oven with perfect temperature would undercook the cake. Mmm, runny cake.

There are lots of examples where the studio recordings were produced with much cheaper equipment than a typical audiophile's home stereo. Maybe they overcompensate the treble and bass for those flat studio monitors - who knows.

The point is that the same recording on better equipment would be DIFFERENT -regardless if it's better or worse- than the original. Therefore, lower "fidelity".
