to collecting vinyl records, and is suitable
not only for those new to this huge and wide-ranging subject,

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.
