melthebell   862 #1 Posted September 27, 2009 Earlier on i said i was going to go downstairs to wash the pots........and was going to put a cd on the "hifi" Now that word......hifi conjures up the early 80s to me  Am i really stuck in the 80's? Is HiFi still the correct term? if not whats the alternative?  alternatives i can thing of are  stereo midi / mini etc (although mine are seperates not midi system) Music System Stereogram (lol, so 70's)  any views? just dont care?

Alien   10 #6 Posted September 27, 2009 It wouldn't surprise me in the least....i still wouldn't care though.   Adding non-related is an indication it's not a "highly interesting question". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest   #9 Posted September 27, 2009 I grew up calling it 'the stereo', because we all had one of those integrated whatsits.  Thinking about it, I haven't used that term in years. I'd probably say 'I'm going to put some music on', or 'I'm going to put a CD on'. I might say 'turn the amp on/off', because I have a few music devices going through that.  I don't really have a collective term for it any more.
