Therefore, to create a measurable reference, a standard, we developed TestHiFi. Many of us are not trained over decades to have the patterns in mind to match good or bad sound. TestHiFi objectively tests sound quality. Jumping between HiFi and HiFi systems, or between bad and bad systems would mostly not create shocking moments. These big jumps to the worse, in sound quality usually happen between HiFi and non-HiFi systems. Without direct comparison, we are not very good in matching the sound we hear to a pattern, of what we would call a bad or good sound, unless it is extreme. We experience this better to worse step much more extreme. For this, we change from our good home music system or extra ordinary good headphones maybe to the iPhone speaker, which would be a much worse experience. Sometimes we leave the house while we continue to listen to that new music we just found. Bam? Do we really experience this as a positive shock? Is our attention drawn to positive improvement in sound quality? We usually accept change to the positive as something expected, without much attention. Plugging in headphones, while the music is still playing: bam, significantly better sound. However, it is still not a high-quality sound reproduction. To a certain degree, it is surprising what Apple created into this little iPhone. When the alarm goes off, people listen to the music provided by the iPhone speaker. Nowadays, we often use the iPhone with a music alarm-clock-app.
Quality sound reference how to#
Likewise, how to rate sound quality or HiFi? Sound quality is subjective. While you are interested in its sports capabilities. Ok, but how to rate the sports capabilities of a car? Meaning the car is comfortable and quiet.
Or ask about the driving capabilities of a car, one says, they are quite good. Luckily for color we have clear defined standards. A carpenter, who fixes a scratch on a white kitchen door, requires the NCS, the RAL or any standardized number of that white. However, as we all know, white is not like white, colors have many nuances. Lets talk about white, we may have a distinct color in mind.
HiFi has no accepted standard.Įxplain something, that is not standardized, you relate to self-experience and as such, it is always subjective. It is about how faithful and loyal sound is recorded and played back by audio systems. High Fidelity derive from the Latin word fidēlis, meaning “faithful or loyal”.
