The Dichotomy of MP3 and HiFi

It is strange how the concept of Hi-Fi (High Fidelity) went out of the window when the iPod came along.

Or maybe it was Alan Sugar and his Amstrad amplifier that started the rot?


I have spent a lot of time in the past (long distant!), analyzing audio distortion and the subjective effects on how audio is heard.

Roger Adair (the guy on the right) was working on the concept of making a digital tape deck at this time (1976).
