This book traces the development of audio design, 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.
