hi-finews FOR ENTHUSIASTS BY ENTHUSIASTS

摘要

Some hi-fi products are born great, benefiting from the favourable genes of a longstanding brand. Others achieve greatness despite humble origins by dint of their fine performance. Then there are the very, very few that have greatness thrust upon them. These are those rare components, conferred the status of an audiophile icon by successive generations of hi-fi enthusiasts. We know them by sight - the Linn Sondek turntable, the SME Series V tonearm, Quad's original electrostatic, the first Philips CD player and, arguably, the most famous moving-coil loudspeaker of the last 40 years, the Yamaha NS 1000.
