Audio Basics is a series intended for audiophiles who may be at the beginning of their journeys, as well as the experienced audiophile who may just want a refresher.
In this week’s episode, Nextscreen Executive Publisher Tom Martin talks about two great resources for your journey: Hi-Fi+ and The Absolute Sound.
After Tom told Lance the 10 elements of a great stereo, including frequency response, sound staging, and distortion, he described how to find a good stereo system.
Jumping into the high-end audio world can be daunting for those new to the field. Audio Basics aims to make the early part of that journey easier for beginning audiophiles.
Finding a good stereo system is more than just going to the store or online and buying something. First, you have to train your ear to be able to know what you’re listening for. Then Hi-Fi+ and The Absolute Sound are there to help you find the right equipment for you.
Audio Basics is a weekly series that you can see on the hi-fi+ YouTube channel. If you’ve missed the first few episodes, learn more about what makes a great stereo.
