hi-fi system
Quality sound setup
A hi-fi system is audio equipment designed for high-fidelity sound reproduction—playback that closely matches the original recording.
The term emerged in the mid-twentieth century as home audio technology improved.
A typical system includes separate components: turntable or disc player, amplifier, and speakers.
He saved up for a proper hi-fi system instead of a cheap all-in-one.
