What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Pioneer SX-424

 The SX-424 is a medium-powered, budget-priced AM/FM solid state stereo receiver with special features for sensitive FM tuning and wide frequency response.
Pioneer SX-424 is proof positive taht stereo on a limited budget doesn't have to mean limited stereo sound. In a handsome package of quality circuitry and reasonable price, the SX-424 offers up to 50 watts of music power at 4 ohms, very sensitive FM reception a wide linear type dial scale for fine FM tuning, and highly respectable  specifications both for the FM tuner section and the audio section. It's versatile unit, too because you can use it with almost all music sources available today, including records, tape, FM and microphone. Best of all it's Pioneer made, which means that, for its price, there is probably nothing available today that can compare with its quality.

  1. I have one of these that i found somewhere years ago. Looks good, missing one knob. Not powered up as no variac to do so. Where is a good place to sell this unit? I am not a stereo/hi-fi person. Hardly anything available where i live to listen to.
