Guest B.A.T man Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Fikk for noen dager siden "The complete guide to High End Audio" av Robert Harley(TAS), i posten for noen dager siden, og jeg tror dette er den "største" og beste oppgraderingen i mitt anlegg lyd pr krone, hvorfor? fordi den hjelper deg med å hente ut det beste av det du ALLEREDE har hjemme. Alle seriøse audiophile bør ha ett ex i bokhylla..... Kolla www.hifibooks.com eller www.hifiaccessoriesclub.com (HiFINews) for endast 35 pund er dette ett "best buy"......good luck Quote
Neodynium Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Kul och bra ide... tänker man ju inte på direkt att det finns böcker om alla tricks och tips! Quote
Guest B.A.T man Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Holder med om at det noen ganger kan være bra med bøker, bla for å optimalisere det man har. Har selv den tanken om at nesten alltid er noe å hente i det å "tune" det man har hjemme kan gi gevinster i "tusen kroners" klassen i stedenfor å måtte kjøpe seg disse gevinstene/oppgraderingene. Siden dette jo er både en respektert og kvalifisert forfatter som deler av sine erfaringer,med 650 sider hifi/multikanal og til og med hvordan bli en bedre lytter, i samme perm er jo ikke dette ett dårlig tweak til under 500 kr.

sampix Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Håller med. Fick den av min flickvän för ca ett år sedan. Har redan läst den 2 gånger Quote
gurin Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Ser intressant ut. Inte så dyr heller! http://www.adlibris.se/ mvh/gurin Quote
Akeg Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Den boken svarar ju verkligen på alla frågor jag har kunnat komma på hittills, åtminstone om man får tro rubrikerna. Med den kunskapen skulle man ju kunna lägga ned forumet :evil: . Nej då, jag skämtar, forumet ger så mycket mera förutom kunskap så det behöver naturligtvis vara kvar. Dessutom kommer ju hela tiden nya erfarenheter som forumet delar med sig av. Plus kamratskapet som tycks blomma rejält mellan medlemmarna. Det klarar ingen bok av. För att inte tala om Timbres bilder! Men boken är klart intressant. Hamnar på listan över aktuella inköp. Mvh Akeg Quote
Guest B.A.T man Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Vær obs på at det er 3`rd edition som har kommet...omtalt også i i HiFI News sept 04 av Ken Kessler, på siste siden...... for de av oss som holder oss hovedsaklig til to kanals lyd bør også nevnes HIFI+ el www.hifiplus.com som man tak på i de fleste større pressbyrå butikkene, man anbefaler vel det man kjenner for Quote
Akeg Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Boken kan köpas på internetbokhandeln.se för 347 kronor. Har beställt en Mvh Akeg Quote
