This month’s Hi-Fi News is a very special edition indeed: our annual Yearbook.
Inside you’ll find a compendium of reviews highlighting many of the best products we’ve tested throughout the past 12 months, while our music critics reflect on some of the best discs released during 2009. Our columnists discuss the highs and lows of the year in the hi-fi industry, while in our regular Hi-Fi @ Home feature we visit a HFN reader who always wanted a dedicated listening room for his hi-fi system - so when he had the opportunity, he started with the room and then built a house around it!

Clearly the biggest news story in the world of music this year has been the remastering of the Beatles’ entire catalogue. We’ve been listening to the stereo and mono box sets, and we’ve talked to the engineering team at Abbey Road studios to learn precisely how they tackled this mammoth remastering project. Want to know precisely what equipment they’ve used to transfer the precious analogue master tapes to CD this time around? You’ll read it here.

As ever, HFN’s Yearbook is a treasure to keep on your bookshelf and use as a reference for many years to come...Read more from this month's issue.
