4 Audiophile Tips For A Better Music Listening Experience

<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Most people love music&period; It has been called the language of the soul&period; But there is a special breed of people called audiophiles&comma; who appreciate music to a degree that some would see as bordering on obsession&period; For an audiophile&comma; mediocre equipment&comma; and anything less than the highest quality of audio simply will not suffice&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">If you want to get more out of your music listening experience&comma; keep reading to learn some neat tricks and tips to get the most out of your music&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">1&period; Listen to Music on Analog Formats<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">When it comes to pure sound quality&comma; there really is no competition to traditional vinyl records and cassette tapes&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter wp-image-359 size-full" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;incrediblemag&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2018&sol;01&sol;4-Audiophile-Tips-for-a-Better-Music-Listening-Experience&period;jpg" alt&equals;"4 Audiophile Tips For A Better Music Listening Experience" width&equals;"960" height&equals;"640" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><strong>Why&quest; <&sol;strong><&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Whether the recording process used is analog or digital&comma; both are created by a microphone turning vibrations in the form of sound into an electrical analog signal&period; An analog recording is made by imprinting that signal directly onto the master tape or master record&period; Distributable copies can then be made from this master copy&comma; and have a sound that is a duplicate of the original recording&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Digital recordings take that analog signal and convert it into a digital representation of the sound&comma; which is essentially a series of ones and zeros that are re-interpreted by software and hardware&period; After the analog signal is digitized&comma; the recording can be copied onto a compact disc&comma; hard drive&comma; or streamed online&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">With analog formats&comma; you can enjoy a truer sound that is much closer to the original than its digital counterpart&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">2&period; Download Music in FLAC format<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Free Lossless Audio Codec&comma; or FLAC is a music compression file type like an MP3&comma; but with a few major differences&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">FLAC first appeared in 2001 as an open-source alternative to other lossless audio formats emerging at the time&period; FLAC offers audio quality which is as good as&comma; or better than a CD&period; This is because FLAC is a lossless format and has all the same data as the original master recording&comma; and offers better sound quality than MP3&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">MP3 is a lossy format&comma; which means parts of the music are shaved off to reduce the file size to a more compact level&period; MP3 files are encoded using a compression method to delete overlapping sounds&comma; but it isn&&num;8217&semi;t always successful&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Typically&comma; cymbals and guitars are the sounds that are most affected by MP3 compression and can sound distorted or &&num;8220&semi;crunchy&&num;8221&semi; when poorly ripped or overly compressed&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">FLAC format&comma; because it is encoded at a higher bit rate&comma; can maintain the subtleties and nuances found on your favorite recordings better than MP3<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">3&period; Replace your Audio Cables<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Quality cables are a crucial part of any set-up&period; The audio cable carries the signal between preamplifier and power amplifier as well as to speakers or headphones and it’s much like a highway that sound must travel through&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">If you have a bad connection&comma; or cables that are made with cheap components&comma; the quality of your music will not be as clear and crisp as with high end cables&period; Just like any other electrical circuit&comma; your hi-fi setup will not function as it is intended&comma; because the electrical signal is not being properly transmitted&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter wp-image-361 size-full" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;incrediblemag&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2018&sol;01&sol;plug-672231&lowbar;960&lowbar;720&period;jpg" alt&equals;"4 Audiophile Tips For A Better Music Listening Experience" width&equals;"960" height&equals;"540" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">The same can be said of headphone cable wire for handheld devices&period; Many audio cables for handheld devices do not achieve the same level of quality as other audio cables&comma; and often underperform even in optimal conditions&period; Cables made with cheap materials and less conductive metals and add a &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;wooly” texture to music&comma; and often only last for a few months&comma; if that&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">By replacing your old&comma; cheap connections with new cables made from higher quality&comma; conductive metals like gold&comma; you can enjoy the best quality of sound that your music has to offer<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">4&period; Listen at 432 Hz<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Most music worldwide has been tuned to A&equals;440 Hz since the International Standards Organization &lpar;ISO&rpar; promoted it in 1953&period; However&comma; there is quickly growing trend among music listeners&comma; to listen to music that has been re-tuned to A&equals;432 Hz<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">It is said that 432 Hz vibrates with the universe’s golden mean or Phi ratio&comma; and unifies the properties of light&comma; time&comma; space&comma; matter&comma; gravity&comma; and magnetism with biology and consciousness&period; While this theory still remains unproven&comma; there is one thing that is for certain&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Through a method known as cymatics&comma; researchers have been able to illustrate that when sound frequencies move through a particular medium&comma; such as water&comma; air&comma; or sand&comma; they directly alter the vibration of matter&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">What has been discovered is actually quite amazing&period; When audio is tuned to 432 Hz&comma; rather than standard 440 Hz&comma; the shapes created by vibrational sound waves passing through physical matter such as water and ferrofluid&comma; appear to be far more uniform and symmetrical than with standard tuning&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">The symmetrical nature of tones produced at this tuning means that each note and chord on the recording has more space to vibrate without bumping into other frequencies and &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;clipping&comma;” which is a term used in the audio production field to describe distorted audio frequencies&comma; caused by over compression&comma; as well as discordant tones&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">There are many music players available for download like 432 Player that can convert your audio to 432 Hz&comma; and this is one hack that really needs to be experienced to fully appreciate&comma; but by doing so you will truly hear the difference in your favorite tunes&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><strong>Conclusion<&sol;strong><strong> <&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">There are many ways to improve the quality of your listening experience&comma; and these are just a few of them&comma; but we have only just begun to scratch the surface&period; What are your best tips and tricks for improving the sound quality of your favorite tunes&quest; Leave us a comment with your thoughts in the section below&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
