Buy this book and stop getting ripped off.

What the average guy need to know about sound and stero equipment is inside.DJ's, Ravers, Hip-Hop artist will really enjoy the secton on records and needles.Save money and buy gear that works together and sounds better than you ever knew it could. The right amp with the right speaker can cost half of what you paid last time and sound better. There is a reason why, and Bill Nye won't cover audio gear. But if he did this is the book you would have.Want more BASS?? Learn what it is and how to get more, for free.Find out:what an EQ is really used for,what those electronics really do,how to stop blowing cash and speakers,what all those letters and numbers mean on a spec sheet,and more.It is writen for musicians and artist, not scientist or people who work with numbers all day long. But if you want to know more about stereo and Audio gear this book is it. My mom can't program her VCR but she could hook up any stereo after reading this book.

Excellent theoretical study for the technical /non-technical

I orignally read this book as my course text at Drexel Unversity in Phila. as part of an elective taught by the physics department.If you are interested in the scienific theory behind your stereo system this is the book for you. Does not require and engineering degree to understand, but some very basic math is presented for some subjects.Very helpful in understanding the technology that audiophiles spend so much money on. You'll be a high fidelity expert by the time you are finished with this text book. No salesman will even have a change with you again.
