hi-fi+ is a magazine that is serious about hi-fi. Our articles are intended to help you get the best from your system, rather than simply telling you to buy another one. Our reviews only cover product that we think is worthwhile. You can read more about that by looking at our reviews policy, but lets just say that our attitude to equipment is rather different, and we hope, much more informative. We haven't forgotten that hi-fi is supposed to be fun!
Editorial: Stereo Sources And Electronics
Plus how important good grounding can be.
Editorial By Alan Sircom
As one of the few issues we've ever run that is completely free of loudspeakers (in preparation for our next issue, that focuses exclusively on loudspeakers), it gives a fascinating insight into the state of the rest of the audio
art. Suddenly, the focus is placed on the sources and electronics, and it's clear there are trends in audio electronics. The trend away from digital disc players seems set to continue, judging by the difficulty we got in trying to secure a new one for review. This is at once odd (CD sales are rising for the first time this century) and understandable (good CD transport mechanisms are increasingly thin on the ground). Meanwhile, DACs without streamers are seeing something of a
resurgence. Vinyl continues to be a strong performer in high-end audio, and even of some of the momentum has gone out of new vinyl sales (LP sales are still growing but not at the blisteringly fast rate they did seven or eight years
ago).
