Beginner’s Guide to Hi–Fi
 
 
Created to hopefully aid anyone venturing into this stressful, beautiful hobby.
I will update this with more information whenever I have time to waste. Anyone is welcome to chime in.
 
 
 
Basic Hi-Fi Chain:
 
SOURCE -> AMPLIFICATION -> SPEAKERS
(click to jump to section)
 
The source component reads the recorded information and translates it into the signal that will be later perceived as sound. Amplification takes that signal and amplifies it (no, really?) in order to make it strong enough to move the drivers of the speaker. A speaker is a collective of drivers that are moved by the signal, producing air pressure in front of them which to us, mortal beings, means hearing sound.
 
When putting together a hi-fi setup, always keep in mind: The end result will only be as good as the weakest link. Buying an expensive turntable and a good phono preamp is useless if you're using cheap computer speakers. By no means should you decide to just get a shitty turntable then. Instead, think carefully how to ration your budget across all important components.

Sounds terrible. Maybe I should make a thread to sell these iTunes gift cards as this one is apparently a thread for people to tell me to keep them and buy things I don't want.

So for those that got it and heard it, thoughts? I was expecting him to take some sort of indie route but the vocals were a bit ridiculous in my opinion, like a wanna be silent Marilyn Manson. It was also so low in the mix that it was kinda hard to even make them out, but whatever. Only parts I really liked personally was his guitar playing. Probably won't be playing this again, but I'll keep it as a collectible.

Wow, I can't believe the overall pretentiousness and douchebaggery I've seen here.
I don't have any info for OP, I just hope the trolls in this thread are at home fapping to their superior knowledge of English within the realm of vinyl collecting.

Yeah, think that listen turned me into an actual Eagles fan.

Woah woah the wording here is fucking with my head, since you capitalized "Brand New" I'm not sure if you mean a proper noun or you actually mean to start posting in the latest threads.
 
 
Stop lying to everyone, you came while you were writing this.

Just pointing out the specific fetish.
