An Estimation of Annoyance Caused by Dropouts in Magnetically Recorded Music
B. L. Cardozo, G Domburg · TU/e Research Portal · 1967
Both audibility and subjective appreciation of dropouts in magnetic recordings of music were estimated in a series of listening experiments in which the most vulnerable situation was simulated: the type of music, the playback conditions as well as the highly discriminating listeners cooperated to yield high annoyance ratings. In this way -worst case- (or True High Fidelity) criteria have been obtained.
