For those who can not, or will not, pay these prices, there is another solution offered in this book: build your own (at considerable cost savings). But this book is aimed not only at this sector of the market, but also at the many enthusiasts who want to be able to experiment and make their own modifications to their 'high-end' equipment.

Hi-fi fans and music lovers have waited long enough: at last, the history of one of the most important forms of home entertainment of the last half-century has been written by the men and women who made it happen. They tell the tale from the first vinyl record to the iPod, from pre-WWII beginnings to the era of the download. Because the saga of hi-fi runs concurrently with the span of Hi-Fi News, the UK's oldest and most respected audio magazine, Sound Bites is also a celebration of the famed journal's 50th anniversary. Since 1956, when Hi-Fi News was launched on the wave of excitement about high fidelity reproduction of music in the home, the audio industry has boomed,retrenched, boomed, retrenched and boomed again. All along, it's been packed with larger-than life characters, people of enormous talent, technical expertise, bad haircuts, business acumen, warped humour and Rabelaisian appetites. And some less desirable qualities, too. This book is their story, in their own words, with contributions from the editors, top contributors and a parade of characters that range from electronics wizards to eccentric salesmen to crazed audiophiles.

This book traces the development of audio design by decade, from the LP record, the birth of hi-fi and the first transistors in the 1950s, through the Japanese hi-fi boom of the 60s and 70s, the CD and the Walkman in the 80s, to the MP3 and DVD players of today. A specification is provided for each piece, along with a history of the design and its place in the development of both the audio industry and contemporary music. In addition, special features are included in each chapter on the music and culture of the time, highlighting the ongoing relationship between hi-fi design and popular culture. A wide range of high-quality audio design is gathered together, including work by major figures such as Dieter Rams, Marco Zanuso and Philippe Starck, and each piece of equipment is illustrated.
