In the 1960s, the [[Federal Trade Commission|FTC]] with the help of the audio manufacturers came up with a definition to identify high-fidelity equipment so that the manufacturers could clearly state if they meet the requirements and reduce misleading advertisements.{{Cite book|last=Lachenbruch|first=David|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ewsEAAAAMBAJ&q=high+fidelity+definition&pg=PA47|title=Billboard|date=1963-03-23|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|isbn=|location=|pages=47}} |

(warning this is siting a fake meeting written in billboard magazine and is taking farcical information as fact as when the article it self clearly states at the top it is an imaginary meeting, who ever used this source did not read it correctly or did not understand it was a joke.) {{Cite book|last=Lachenbruch|first=David|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ewsEAAAAMBAJ&q=high+fidelity+definition&pg=PA47|title=Billboard|date=1963-03-23|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|isbn=|location=|pages=47}} |

A popular type of system for reproducing music beginning in the 1970s was the integrated [[music centre]]—which combined a phonograph turntable, AM-FM radio tuner, tape player, preamplifier, and power amplifier in one package, often sold with its own separate, detachable or integrated speakers. These systems advertised their simplicity. The consumer did not have to select and assemble individual components or be familiar with impedance and power ratings. Purists generally avoid referring to these systems as high fidelity, though some are capable of very good quality sound reproduction. |
