I like passion in voices. I like passion in music. And I find that, sometimes with today's music, it's just so perfect - it's that high fidelity and all of the auto-tuning and all that stuff. It's too perfect for my ears.

WHAT DOES HIGH FIDELITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

high fidelity

High fidelity

High fidelity—or hi-fi or hifi—reproduction is a term used by home stereo listeners and home audio enthusiasts to refer to high-quality reproduction of sound to distinguish it from the poorer quality sound produced by inexpensive audio equipment, or the inferior quality of sound reproduction characteristic of recordings made until the late 1940s. Ideally, high-fidelity equipment has minimal amounts of noise and distortion and an accurate frequency response. It has been shown that the time-domain response is also crucial for realistic sound reproduction. One effort to standardize the term was the 1966 German Deutsches Institut für Normung standard DIN 45500. DIN 45500 approval was intended to provide audio equipment buyers with reassurance that their equipment was capable of good quality reproduction. In theory, only stereo equipment that met the standard could bear the words "Hi-Fi". In practice, the term was widely applied to audio products that did not remotely approach the DIN specifications.
