Part Six:
Reading Much More About Hi-Fi
You’ve now completed the UHF Hi-Fi Course. We hope you found it worthwhile, but perhaps you’re hungry for more.
What you have read ia set of excerpts from Gerard Rejskind’s best-selling book, The World of High Fidelity, available from UHF Magazine at a special Internet price. And we’re about to make you an offer you can’t refuse.
As you can guess, there’s lots more to read in this 224-page book:
- Foreword: Why yet another book on high fidelity?
- Welcome to my World: What is high fidelity? It’s not what they probably told you.
- Where Hi-Fi Came From: A little history to indicate where we may be going.
- Modern Hi-Fi: This is what the system you can buy will probably contain.
- Sources: Beginning at the Beginning: Why the CD player or the turntable is the most important component
- The World of Digital: The ins and outs of the biggest audio revolution of our time
- The World of Analog: No, the LP isn’t dead. Here’s how to get the most from it
- Amplifying: What’s inside those expensive boxes
- Loudspeakers: Why most speakers don’t do what their makers say they do
- Getting It Off the Air: Is it worth adding a tuner to a high end system? Which one?
- The World of Accessories: Stands, cables, stabilizers, green pens, etc.
- Home Cinema: Why settle for sound when you can have a picture too? But…
- Selling it. Buying it.: How to sell high fidelity successfully. How to find it and buy it.
- Getting the System You Want: How to get from the system you can afford to the one you really want
- Acoustics: Meet the final hi-fi component, your listening room
- The World Goes On: The ultimate challenge to hi-fi
But that’s not all.
