Music, dance, and musical instruments are not only means to highlight certain moments in ceremonies, but help to set up an entire network of secrets.

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Avoid the hit-and-miss approach and stop wasting money on overpriced high-end products in the blind hope of sonic improvement. Achieve the ultimate audio synergy and get more enjoyment from your audio system by making it as good sounding as possible. "Sound Improvement Secrets for Audiophiles" will teach you how things work, why some circuits, designs, and technologies sound the way they do, and how to make them sound even better through simple modifications and improvements. It is like having an audio and acoustic consultant by your side to guide you through optimizing and voicing your audio system and your listening room. While relatively technical and in-depth, this practical manual goes way beyond "a dozen quick tips" and the simplistic advice you read elsewhere. Instead, the focus is on dozens of DIY projects, case studies, and examples of commercial audio components - turntables, preamplifiers, amplifiers, loudspeakers, power supplies, and acoustic treatments. With over 400 photographs, diagrams, and illustrations, "Sound Improvement Secrets for Audiophiles" makes it easy for you to understand and comprehend complex technical concepts and issues. The author does not shy away from many controversial and hotly debated topics. Tubes vs transistors, objectivists vs subjectivists, measurements vs listening, and digital vs analog: all of these are discussed in detail. The money invested in this book would not even buy you a budget-priced pair of cables: it will prove to be one of the best financial investments you ever make. Even if you implement only a few improvements from the hundreds described within its pages - you will never look back! BOOK CONTENTS: 1.
