By Ruth Anderson


You might want to buy a new Hi-Fi system but before you do that, it is important to keep a few important facts in mind.

Hi-Fi systems are an important financial outlay for just about anyone. If you are on a low budget then you want to get as much quality as you can for your money. Before you start the spending it is important to sit back and find out what system will provide the best acoustic results in your price range.

Budget

Exactly how much do you want to spend? Setting a top-end limit will help and then you can figure out the rest. You have to limit any overspending which is why this is important. You have to focus on products that are a good fit for you.

Uses

Most Hi-Fi systems will have a CD player or a radio. You might even find a tape deck with a Hi-Fi system that is older and classic.

Modern systems may well be able to dock MP3 players and Ipods. You need to find products that are suitable for your particular usage and there are many websites with filtering systems that will take you to those specific product pages.

The Quality of the Sound

Many people assume that the higher the wattage the better the quality of sound. Not really the case. The proof of good sound comes only with listening. Most of the time, a 50 watts system power will be enough.

Separate Components

Buy individual units and build your own system. In order to build your own system you need components like CD player , tuner and turn table.

CD Player

DVD

If you don't have a surround system a Hi-Fi system that plays DVDs will enable you to hook up your Hi-Fi system to the TV and play your films with excellent sound quality.

DAB Radio

If you make use of DAB, which is Digital Audio Broadcasting you can find clearer sound than FM/AM radio and more channels. It is becoming the norm on most Hi-Fi systems and if you're spending a decent amount you should certainly find it in the feature list.
