To me too HiFi usually means that too much emphasis has been placed in creating a highly detailed (read bright & thin) upper midrange and highs to exaggerate the soundstaging effect at the expense of musicality. It could also be over/under emphasis in any part of the musical spectrum to appeal to certain listeners, which departs from a neutral presentation of the contents of the recordings.
What does "Sounds too Hifi" mean???
Lately I've been reading this phrase on various forums, and have no idea what they are talking about. What is the "hifi" sound? What does it mean when something "sounds too hifi"? Does that mean it doesn't dissappear, that you are aware that the music is being made by "equipment"? Is this term in the audio glossary?!!!
