A beyond-cool look at the world of high-end audio design for passionate collectors, obsessive audiophiles, and design fans

At a time when sales of vinyl records have hit

a 25-year high, and analog technologies are

providing the kind of extraordinary audio

experiences that our increasingly digital world

has started to remove, Hi-Fi is essential reading.

This unique book explores just how, when, and

why the world fell in love with the look, feel, and

sound of top-of-the-line audio equipment. Hi-Fi

traces this fascinating evolution from the 1950s

to today (and tomorrow), taking readers right up

to the current renaissance of all things analog

and the emergence of cutting-edge designs for

die-hard audiophiles.
