Music is Tech, like everything that surrounds us, but it is also true, as Henry Ford said, that: “There is real progress only when the advantages of a new technology are for everyone” A technology is for everyone when it has costs affordable and especially when everyone is able to use it.
To make this happen, on the one hand, the commitment of the manufacturers to create simple interfaces is necessary, on the other hand a disclosure able to reach anyone. Our society is running faster and faster: the pace is very high and often the must is: “Everything and Now”. To make this happen there is a need for information that is not self-referential and this is what we will do. We will take things seriously but at the same time there will never be that irony that has always distinguished Techprincess. Technology is our friend and it must make our life easier and not scare us. Music is art, memories, passion, in one word it is feeling. By combining the two we will have a fulfilling and profound experience.

Music is Tech, music belongs to everyone. Here’s what we’re going to talk about.
The way of playing music in recent years has had various evolutions but also involutions and second thoughts. In the early 1980s we witnessed the birth of the CD, presented as a great revolution. Today that revolution is headed for extinction. We lived the birth and disappearance of vinyl. Dumps full of working turntables and 33 rpm thrown in bins or sold off in flea markets. Now, if you try to buy a vintage turntable, even the most modest, you risk paying for it in gold. Streaming, in its various facets, is increasingly successful and we will tell you about it and explain what it is.

If transistors now reign supreme in most applications, tubes still satisfy a lot of audiophiles and we will tell you why a tube, in addition to being beautiful and fascinating, is also valid in terms of performance. We will talk more and more about made in China and we will show you that there are many valid brands, characterized by excellent value for money. Finally we will talk about a fundamental thing: the synergies. That is how to assemble a Hi-Fi system in order to make the components of your system work to the maximum. In this regard, we will advise you on which amplifier to combine with that particular speaker and we will offer you beautiful and ready setups based on various budget ranges.

When you don’t understand, raise your hand
Those of you who have tried to read a trade magazine in the audio / video world or have tried to ask for information about what to buy on one of the many dedicated forums or social pages, will have noticed an astonishing technical preparation. The only problem is to understand if the housewife from Voghera looking for information for her first turntable has managed to understand what a prephono is, and what she has to choose to listen to her father’s vinyl without having to field protractors, laser levels or anything else. . What Techprincess wants to do is just talk to the housewife from Voghera or Rome and recommend her turntable. In case something is unclear, raise your hand and ask us for explanations: we will give them to you.

Whether you are audiophile, music lover or simply curious, a world full of surprises awaits you that is not the prerogative of wealthy and / or technically trained people. You will find out how much it can excite a well played song. It won’t be like being in the front row at a concert or going crazy dancing in the middle of a nightclub floor but it will come very close. Furthermore, in this historical period in which concerts, cinemas and discos are experiencing a moment of difficulty and uncertainty, a good hifi setup can be a good paliativo.
To conclude
Since we are in the mood for quotes, always remember that: “There are no silly questions, only irrelevant answers.”
Ps we look forward to your suggestions.
