Overview

In this newly updated and expanded edition, Robert Harley, Editor-in-Chief of The Absolute Sound magazine, tells readers everything they need to know about buying and enjoying high-quality audio equipment; written for beginners and serious music enthusiasts alike

Revised and expanded to include all the latest audio technologies, this book is packed with expert advice on how to make speakers sound up to 50 percent better at no cost, how to avoid the most common system set-up mistakes, and how to choose the one speaker in 50 worth owning. Among the new topics covered are streaming audio, computer-based music servers, music-management apps, wireless streaming, and high-resolution digital audio. A short course on listening-room acoustics is presented and additional information on audio for home theater, multichannel audio, system set-up secrets, and what each component's specifications and measurements mean is also provided.
