Hi-fi: A History of High-End Audio Design tells for the first time how the public's passion for cutting-edge hi-fi equipment began. Unlike old radio cassette players or current smartphones, this one is able to transmit the very soul of music. This book traces the history of audio design, from its beginnings in the 1950s to today with the return of analog equipment and the emergence of luxury equipment aimed at passionate audiophiles. Vinyl turntables, tape recorders, tube and solid-state amplifiers and horn speakers, Hi-fi paints an in-depth and richly illustrated panorama of exceptional audio equipment and its constant evolution.
