스테레오파일(Stereophile) - 올해의 제품(Product of The Year) 1992 ~ 2007

미국의 저명한 오디오 잡지인 스테레오파일의 과거 수상된 제품들의 리스트 입니다.

올해의 제품을 영어로 Product Of The Year 라고 쓰고, 약어로 앞글자만 따서 POTY 라고 합니다.

일본애들 잡지인 스테레오 사운드에서도 비슷하게 Component Of The Year 라고 해서 COTY 라고 하기도 합니다.

스테레오파일 잡지는 1992년 부터 몇몇 기기를 선택하여 "Product of The Year" 라고 명명해 왔습니다. 스테레오파일에서는 다음과 같이 다섯가지 종류로 분류를 했습니다.

라우드스피커(서브우퍼 포함)
앰프(프리앰프/파워앰프 등)
디지털 소스(트랜스포트,프로세서,뮤직 서버,디스크 플레이어 등)
아날로그 소스(포노 카트리지,턴 테이블,톤암, FM 튜너 등)
악세서리(시간을 허비하게 만들거나 만족스럽게 만들기도 하는 잡동사니 등등)

스테레오파일 편집장도 항상 강조하듯이, 오디오 생활은 취미에 불과하므로 , 이러한 글들은 정보로써만 다루시고 제품을 구매 하실때는 직접 청취 하시고 결정하시기 바랍니다.(특히 비싼 물건들은 보다 더 신중하게 결정하는 현명한 소비 자세가 필요합니다.)
