Arcam Alpha 2 Tuner

 The Arcam Ralpha 2

This tuner has successfully established a distinctly “British” identity, with attractively classic ergonomics. A modest price plus sound quality comfortably better than most are further reasons for a “best buy”

The diversity and quality of modern broadcasting is demanding new levels of performance from today’s hi-fi tuners. In particular, a natural, clear and dynamic sound from FM coupled with the versatility of MW and LW reception of popular programmes, are the criteria most desired by serious music lovers and audiophiles. The Arcam ALPHA 2 STEREO TUNER FROM a&r Cambridge admirably fulfills thee requirements at an economic price.

Versatility

The tuner has been designed to provide the highest quality reception of programmes transmitted on both the FM/VHF and AM broadcast bands. Although suitable for use with all quality stereo amplifiers, the Alpha 2 tuner is specifically styled to match with both Arcam’s outstandingly successful 30 watts per channel Alpha 2 amplifier and the high performance electronics in our. Delta series

 Ease of operation

The tuner’s controls have been deliberately kept to a minimum to ensure simple, fuss free operation. Three interlocked push buttons are used for selection of the wavebands, each band using the rotary tuning control for precise tuning. Additionally, for FM reception, an AFC switch is fitted to compensate for small frequency drifts or slight mistuning which may occur. A mono switch is provided to ensure better reception of weak stations. A red LED beacon indicates when a stereo programme is being received. The large rotary tuning control is fly-wheel assisted to produce an excellent “feel” and is coupled to an extended analogue tuning scale, featuring a unique dual role frequency pointer. On MW and LW the pointer glows green but on FM it doubles as a precise tuning indicator, changing colour in traffic light sequence as it moves onto a station and turning green when the station is exactly on tune. Station markers are provided to indicate the position of favourite programmes.

Design

The design has been realized using high quality components selected for optimum sonic performance. Detailed theoretical analysis and extensive listening has produced exceptional results, the sound quality in particular on FM being firm, precise and without annoying sibilance. The use of a “birdie” filter fitted before the stereo decoder considerably reduces the unpleasant whistles caused by closely positioned stereo broadcasts. On the long and medium wvebands careful design has improved reception especially on the “crowded” night time airwaves, and results in a clearer, more informative sound.

 Quality and reliability

Great care has also been taken in every aspect of the design, construction and lignment of the Arcam Alpha 2 tuner to ensure years of consistent, trouble free operation. All componemts are operated well within their ratings. Internal wiring and connectors are all but eliminated by mounting all components (except indicators) on a single glass fibre Printed Circuit Board. Every tuner is rigorously checked at all stages of production, both for performance and appearance. All are tested and aligned using advanced custom built equipment and finally ‘burnt in” and retested before dispatch to ensure ultimate reliability.

The Arcam Alpha 2 tuner is provided with a ready made 75 ohm dipole wire aerial for FM reception and a specially designed loop aerial for AM use. Nevertheless, for best results, in areas of anything but prime reception, it is nearly always better to add appropriate external aerials in order to provide the tuner with the best possible input signal.

Onkyo Integra T-9090 II

 Onkyo Integra T-9090 II Computer-Controlled FM Tuner

The Integra Series Sound

Onkyo’s Integra series of hi-fi components is dedicated to a simple yet elusive goal; the accurate recreation of the full sonic impact of a live performance with all its immediacy and excitement.

The T-9090II epitomizes this dedication. A worthy addition to integra line, this FM-only tuner sets a new world standard in FM reception and operating convenience. Nothing less would be enough; nothing less would be Integra.

Computer-Controlled Five-Mode APR (Automatic Precision Reception) System

The five-mode APR system in the T-9090II monitors the quality of the FM broadcast being received and automatically sets a total of five reception modes (antenna [A/B], RF mode [DX/local], IF bandwidth [wide/narrow/S-narrow], hi-blend [on/off] and mode [stereo/mono]. APR provides optimum FM quality with computer controlled accuracy and convenience. All modes can be changed either manually or by remote control if necessary. You can even preset them in memory.

 High Sensitivity and Selectivity

The T9090II’s reception of weak FM stations, whether over the air or cable, is outstanding; 50 dB quieting sensitivity is a remarkable 0,8 µV. Selectivity has also been substantially improved over the previous version, for clear reception of weak stations even if powerful local channels broadcast on adjacent frequencies. The selectivity specification of 80 dB, adjacent channel, ±300 kHz sets a new standard in FM tuner performance.

SFR (Sonic Noise Filtering Reception) Anti-Microphonic Circuit

Though known for their low distortion. Synthesizer tuners are extremely sensitive to mechanical vibrations. If sound pressure from the speakers causes the chassis to vibrate, these vibrations can in turn be translated into distortion-causing electrical voltages. If these spurious elements find their way into the music signal; the tuner will sound distorted and unmusical. This phenomenon is known as the microphonic effect. Onkyo’s SFR system uses electrical means to fight microphonic interference at its source; the synthesizer section. This innovative technology greatly contributes to the astonishing sonic purity and naturalness of the T-9090II.

 Top Quality Construction

Onkyo’s unwillingness to compromise on quality is no where more evident than in the solid construction of the T-9090II. This tuner is built to last, from the copper front end shielded case, pure copper bus ground lines (five in all) to the shielded casings for the digital and power supply blocks. In addition, the chassis of the T-9090II is specially designed to prevent microphony, incorporating a damping steel base panel to keep mechanical vibrations to a minimum.

Yamaha T-1

 Yamaha T-1

The Yamaha T-1 is designed and built to deliver the kind of audio performance that more than matches that of recent model stereo amplifiers, especially in areas critical to the quality of reproduced sound. For example, the FM MPX demodulator - which determines the quality of FM stereo sound - is a Yamaha-developed, highly advanced DC-NFB-PLL switching circuit built around a DC amplifier of especially high slew rate. This new development holds distortion to below 0,3%, signal-to-noise ratio at least as high as 100 dB and stereo separation above 70 dB.

Another instance of the T-1's technical excellence is found in its advanced FM pilot cancelling circuit which tracks both the level and phase of the 19 kHz pilot signal and eliminates it completely befotre it reaches the switching circuit. This dramatically reduces the intermodulation distortion, enhancing the tuner's frequency response to an incredibile DC - 18,000 Hz.

More important, the superb audio performance of the T-1 is based on a minimum FM selectivity of 55 dB in the Local mode, thanks to Yamaha's FM IF Differential Gain Direct View Analysis. While the 55 dB selectivity is an excellent figure that guarantees superb audio performance from normal strength FM signals. The T-1 will automatically switch over to the DX mode when it detects enough interference to deteriorate the quality of the signal. In the DX mode, the tuner offers exceptionally high 92 dB selectivity, thus always assuring excellent audio performance above a prescribed level.

Matches the AJ-41 tuner in styling and performance

 Due to the equalization present in Phono and Tape Head positions, the meter readings for these inputs contain a considerable amount of random low-frequency noise, most of which is sub-audible.  Such noise is due to thermal agitation in tubes and resistors, contact resistance effects in electrolitic capacitors, power line variations, etc. In evaluating noise, the audibility of its various components must be considered. The extreme input sensitivity (1 mV) of the AA-100 Tape Head input must also be borne in mind.

The actual 60 Hz hum (and harmonics) included in the readings is very  small, compared to the mostly sub-audible noise components referred to above. As a matter of fact, the AA-100 is almost completely free from hum, for practical purposes.

Heathkit AJ-41

 Heathkit AJ-41 Tuner has many interesting features, some of which are quite unique. The Tuner will receive monophonic AM or FM , or stereo FM. Individual meters monitor AM and FM tuning, a neon lamp is incorporated to indicate when a FM stereo signal is received. Another feature is a FM squelch circuit, which eliminates between station noise when tuning across the FM band. Cathode follower output stages provide low line impedance to avoid hum and high frequency losses in the interconnecting audio cables. With a FM stereo output, the cathode followers perform separately as left and right channel output stages; on monophonic AM or FM, the two output stages are tied together and supply the same information to both the left and right channel amplifiers of a stereo system.

In addition there's an automatic stereo indicator light, built-in stereo adapter, automatic frequency control for clear, drift-free reception, adjustable FM squelch to assure complete silence while tuning, and a stereo phase control for maximum station separation, minimum distortion.

 Heavy die-cast flywheels are used on the tuning controls to give smooth tuning action. A "unitized" chasis design provides for rigidity and ease of kit assembly before being incorporated into the final assembly.

Control versatility is essential to good performance from a high quality tuner. All controls are arranged to offer maximum versatility without an excessive number of knobs.

Completely separate circuits are used for the AM and FM portions of the Tuner to avoid compromising performance. The multiplex circuit is used only in the Stereo position of the Mode Selector switch. Silicon diode rectifiers are used in the power supply because of their long life, dependability, and the fact that essentially no heat is generated in this type of rectifier. A choke is used in conjunction with the silicon rectifiers to improve regulation and to minimize hum. The heavy duty, electrostatically-shielded power transformer isolates the circuitry from the power line.

For Added Convenience - there are individual AM and FM tuning meters, flywheel tuning action, built-in antennas plus external antenna connectors, a fidelity switch for normal or maximum AM fidelity; and a preassembled, prealigned front-end to insure professional performance.  Assembly takes just a couple of evenings.

With its extraordinary engineering, advanced design concept and extreme flexibility, Pioneer's new SX-737 AM-FM stereo receiver offers a level of performance that can only be described as awesome. Its exceptional FM reception is achieved through the use of phase lock loop circuitry, ceramic filters, and a dual-gate MOS FET. So it cleanly and clearly picks up stations that were once just numbers on the dial - without interfernce.

The SX-737 has more than enough power to satisfy your needs. It delivers 35 watts per channel, minimum continuous power, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, maximum total harmonic distortion o,5% at 8 ohms. And all of this power is smooth and stable with dual power supplies driving direct-coupled circuitry.

It accommodates every listening interest with a complete range of connections for two pairs of speakers, turntable, tape decks (wwith tape-to-tappe duplication), headphones and microphone. And it offers an exclusive Recording Selector that lets you record FM while listening to records, or vice versa.

All of this performance requires the proper controls to handle it. And the SX-737 gives you the kind of control mastery you deserve. Click-  stop tone controls, high/low filters, loudness control, dual tuning meters, and FM muting.
