Would you like to play a game with me? Yes, it is one of Those Internet Tests – but this one is by NPR, not Buzzfeed.
This one is called “How well can you hear audio quality?” Now, I’m oldish and all, and I didn’t like CD’s very much when they came out as they sound tinny to me. So there. A record just had more depth, more warmth… more bass. I love the bass. So with that in mind, I thought I would do really well on this test. I enjoyed taking this, despite not being very interested in some/most of the music selections. I got five out of six ‘right’ despite listening on my iPad. How did you do, and how did you expect you would do?
I’ll only tell you which one I got wrong if you play along!

Records. Sigh. Now that’s music.
I still have some, and a working player!
I have crates of records – even some from my parents, but the turntable needs a bit of work…it’s on the list
Do it! It’s probably only a new needle you need, and they are surprisingly easy to source.
I have some really ancient discs, they weigh a ton. Classical, but that is wonderful! My only issue is that the record player is in our bedroom. Who wants to jam out in the bedroom?
Mmm, don’t answer that!
Needle is fine – it’s a busted belt that drives the thing. Also probably an easy part to find. Must stop procrastinating…
I hunted up the test but I couldn’t get past the first bar of the first “song.” All of a sudden I was being brayed at by someone with an obnoxious, toneless voice over a thump thump beat. I never put up with that unless I’m in the gym working out and then I think of it as a boiler factory.
I know – I know. If it helps, I could tell in the first few seconds? I was really thinking of you when I posted this! If you try again they shuffle the order of the six selections.
