Can You Hear the Difference in High Quality Music? Test Yourself

Here's a simple test that lets you toggle between an extremely high-quality file music file and a low-quality music file. Can you tell the difference?

ID'd 4 correctly, using computer speakers and I have very bad tinnitus.
Head phones would have helped, even better would have been some really high quality music to ID. Of the samples; I like the Eagles, Dixie Chicks are OK, never heard of the others.

It told me I got 0 correct but it didn't give me a chance to choose. I was going to go with B on all 5. Calling the choices "high quality music" is debatable. :lol:

You had to wait for the music to start playing and choose the one you wanted while it was playing. So I listened to both all the way then clicked on the one I picked and then clicked the big button at the bottom.

By the time you can afford a really great sound system, your hearing doesn't support it. The same thing happens with binoculars -- the eye pupil gets narrow meaning that you don't get all the advantage of those "night vision" binocs. Oh well,

Unfortunately 5 tests are insufficient for statistical significance. And the choice of music is insufficiently diverse.

No classical or great voices, no high quality instrumentals with delicate tones or subtle backgrounds.
