musical fidelity

Musical fidelity refers to how accurately an audio system reproduces the original sound of music. It measures the quality and precision of sound transmission from the source to your ears, aiming to preserve the music's true tone, detail, and dynamics. High fidelity (hi-fi) equipment minimizes distortions and noise, allowing listeners to experience music as close to the original recording as possible. In essence, musical fidelity is about faithfully capturing and delivering the nuances, clarity, and richness of the music without coloration or distortion.
