A stereo system isn’t just a collection of gear—it’s a carefully tuned instrument.
So many people set up their speakers as best they can, plug in their gear, and believe they’re done. But that's just the starting point.
Without proper setup, even the best equipment won’t sound right. That’s why The Audiophile’s Guide: The Stereo exists. It’s a complete roadmap to building, setting up, and fine-tuning a high-end stereo system.
This new rewritten edition of a classic that I wrote years ago walks you through the fundamentals—speaker placement, room interaction, and system synergy—so you can extract the full magic from your setup.
It’s a book about getting the most from what you have. And when everything locks into place, the music stops coming from the speakers and starts living in your room.
A properly set up stereo doesn’t just play music—it transports you to the performance.
The Audiophile’s Guide is available now. Whether you want to dive into one book or collect the entire limited-edition hardcover series, this is your chance to own a lifetime’s worth of knowledge. I hope these books serve you for a lifetime of great music.
