Music. Sound. Image. The book you have in your hands combines these three essential aspects of our lives thanks to the stories of thirty audiophiles from all over Italy who retrace their search for sonic perfection. They all started with a very strong passion, as children they discovered High Fidelity and with this a world made of valves, cables, speakers, heads, diodes, famous systems and craftsmanship. A world that led them to create, each in their own home, a very personal space where they can listen to music in its purest form. And in those rooms, with attention to every detail, not only the ear but also the eye enjoys, so much so that the author, a long-time photographer and audiophile in turn, could not resist digging with his lens among the components of each system to give us hundreds of shots to accompany these stories. A journey that will make you experience the emotions of high sound quality in a truly magical way.
