FROM THE
Editor
Welcome to the 2014 edition of
The Absolute Sound Buyer’s Guide to High-End Electronics.
Electronics—amps, preamps, integrated amplifiers, phonostages, and headphone amps—are the
workhorses of our high-end systems. In this
Buyer’s Guide,
you’ll discover which components stand out
from the pack—which products are most likely to provide you with many thousands of hours of musical
enjoyment from entry-level to reference-level.
With so many items to choose from on the Web and in the marketplace, it can be a daunting task to narrow
down your next electronics purchase. The editorial staff and expert writers at
The Absolute Sound
have
taken the guesswork and the tedium out of the process. We’ve culled through all the products we’ve
reviewed over the past few years, and narrowed the list down to our consensus picks of the very best
components for every budget. Perusing the 32 full-length reviews in this
Buyer’s Guide
will allow you to
make an informed decision when it comes to your next high-end purchase, confident that we’ve done the
heavy lifting for you.
In addition to equipment reviews, you will also find familiar features from
The Absolute Sound
within the
pages of this
Buyer’s Guide,
such as sneak previews of interesting new products in
On The Horizon
and an
especially useful excerpt from Robert Harley’s
The Complete Guide to High-End Audio
(Fourth Edition),
which explains how best to match your amplifier to your system and speakers.
We hope you will consider this buyer’s guide exactly that—a guide to your next purchase that will help
make this your best-sounding year yet.
Happy listening!
Spencer Holbert
