The Hifi Technical Files

The aim of this area is to try and address some of the more technical aspects of audio. It is quite limited at the moment, 'cos I don't have too much time to develop it (I seem to spend my time on the stop press and secondhand pages, when I'm not doing the boring accounts for the business!). However, I'm determined to post up more topics in due course, with emphasis on the things we get asked most frequently - if there's a subject you'd like to see here, please mail me.

It is quite hard to present information in a way that less technical people can understand, and more knowledgeable don't find patronising - so please be patient if you know a lot of the stuff already. Some of it will naturally be quite boring unless it's information you need - no multimedia entertainment here!
