I really like the title of "Cheap and Cheerful HiFi". I have listened to many more than $10K systems since I was a teenager, but almost none of them touched my heat and inspired my soul. A good sounding system is not always proportional to the expenses. We need to learn how to identify good sounding equipment, match equipment and distribute the investment properly. Here are the contributions from Musical Paradise. The products that can touch listener's heart.
