The Complete Guide to High-End Audio Review: Informative, clear, and helpful - The more I read this book, the more I like it. At the time I bought it, I already had the fourth edition of Harley's book; I'm happy to report that the twice revised sixth edition has expanded signifiantly to cover new technologies such as high-resolution streaming audio, downloads, and network-connected audio products, and much more. Harley's attitude toward the reader can best be appreciated when you compare his book to certain other audiophile books and online columns. At one extreme of this spectrum are two-channel purists who believe all receivers are bad and you must buy the specific separate components that they recommend; at the other extreme are generalists whose aim is primarily to teach you to set things up right without advocating or condemning any specific audio component. Harley wisely takes a middle ground, managing to be objective most of the time -- what to buy and not to buy (e.g. how to choose a loudspeaker) -- and subjective only where necessary, as when discussing soundstaging or musicality. He establishes his place on this spectrum with just the right mix of information and advice, avoiding snobbery at one extreme and overcooked generalizations at the other. He covers everything that could interest you, and probably many things you have never heard of. He is thorough -- exhaustive without being exhausting. Above all Harley speaks to music lovers, not audiophile equipment collectors. A musician himself, Harley always compares what he hears from the speakers and electronics with what he has played and remembers about live music he has played himself. This sixth edition of Robert Harley's "The Complete Guide to High-End Audio" is a classic that keeps improving. It is probably is the best source available on this subject anywhere. Review: Best reference out there! - If you are a novice or an old head, this book will teach you anything and everything about your stereo. This is my second copy! I’ve learned so much and I thought I was pretty smart about my stereo. I found out differently! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #124,236 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Acoustic Engineering #23 in Physics of Acoustics & Sound (Books) #50 in Consumer Guides (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (158) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.2 x 10 inches | | Edition | Sixth edition | | ISBN-10 | 1736254502 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1736254509 | | Item Weight | 2.3 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 592 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 2021 | | Publisher | Acapella Publishing | ## Images ![The Complete Guide to High-End Audio - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IelkUhIGS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative, clear, and helpful *by C***5 on May 26, 2023* The more I read this book, the more I like it.
