Better Sound from your Phonograph

***** 5-star review - A lot of the information comes from the author's extensive life-long professional experience in audio as well as his own research and study. I learned more about the importance of stylus shape, for example, in getting the most out of the record grooves without distortion. The author's no-nonsense approach is refreshing in this age of fantasy thinking by hi-fi hucksters selling snake oil products to innocent audiophiles. His practicality and focus on what is really important is a valuable perspective. I'm glad he shared his insights, wisdom and information with all of us in this nice book. - Dirk Wright, USA ***** 5-star review - Perfect for a techno-curious music-lover, it's a profusely illustrated and readable guide, with high-end knowledge that's harder to find in print than you'd think. - Confirmed buyer, USA ***** 5-star review - This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to get the best from their vinyl - and older shellac - records. How to get better sound by careful setting up your system. Constructional chapters show you how to make your own equipment with minimal skills and basic tools. I like this book because it is well written, easy to understand and has very useful illustrations. There's also access to online updates. What makes this book so good is that it shows how great vinyl playback does not need thousands of dollars (or your own currency) to achieve. - Richard Z, UK ***** 5-star review - I intend to build both projects in the book preamp and tonearm. All in all a very thoughtful book on the turntable and it's background science; would recommend it to anyone with the faintest interest. - John Hall-Freeman, Australia
