Why did Samsung acquire its Hi-Fi brands?

In recent years, Samsung has emerged as a major player in the global hi-fi marketplace. This podcast mini-series seeks to understand how and why this has happened and what the implications are for Hi-Fi hobbyists. The Hi-Fi Hobbyist has a personal interest here: Mark Levinson, the manufacturer of my amplifier, is one of the brands acquired by Samsung.

In last week’s episode, we considered the history of Samsung from a local company in Korea to major electronics conglomerate. After this, we considered how they acquired their portfolio of Hi-Fi brands.

In this week’s episode, we will consider what this means for both Samsung and for Hi-Fi Hobbyists now and in the future.

The music that accompanies this podcast is designed to recreate two of the great jazz genres of the 1920s and 1930s, Dixieland jazz and Boogie Woogie piano. The music was created by the Hi-Fi Hobbyist for this podcast using Mureka AI software.

We hope that you enjoy the podcast.  If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, please do go back and listen to this and other previous podcast episodes. To avoid missing any episodes, please follow us wherever you listen to your podcasts.
