How I judge HiFi

Interesting that we are so different.
I prefer using unknown music but as a final verification on the absolut performance level use familiar music.

Actually I tend to reverse that. I usually choose music I am familiar with but will switch to something unfamiliar if I am having a difficult time deciding which change is more tuneful.

I truly believe that music is a universal language of human emotion and passion.
