High fidelity or hi-fi reproduction is a quality standard that means the reproduction of sound or images is very faithful to the original. High fidelity aims to achieve minimal or unnoticeable amounts of noise and distortion. The term high fidelity tends to be applied to any reasonable-quality home-music system, though some believe that a higher standard than this was intended, and in 1973, the German Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) standard DIN 45500 laid down minimum requirements for measurements of frequency response, distortion, noise and other defects and gained some recognition in hi-fi magazines.

High-fidelity enthusiasts are often known as audiophiles. As the term hi-fi is today used generically, the luxury end of home audio electronics is often termed "high end."

Good question! My opinion is the equalizer available in most equipments should only be used to counter a non flat response of one of the equipments. The speakers can have a non flat response and also the room can give a non flat response (absorb some frequencies more than others). Then the problem is to know or measure which frequencies to boost or tone down. Personnaly I don't know enough and don't have the right measuring equipment. So I always use a flat equalization. I find it funny how many people modify the equalization of their Hifi equipment without understanding a thing. Some even just draw a pretty wave on the equalizer just so it looks good ... The only filter I sometimes use is the loudness one which makes a pleasing sound when listening to music at low volume level.
