Audio Research D-110

The D-110 is a linear 2-channel power amplifier of extremely high quality construction designed for the reproduction of speech and music. It represents "second Generation" advancement of Audio Research's analog module technology.

With the D-350 and D-100A technology to draw from, the D-110 was conceived to embody those parts of each design that could be brought together to provide an amplifier having the very highest possible performance level within its power capability.

Assuming a basically linear and stable amplifier design with adequate "slewing rate" to allow possible audio waveforms to be reproduced with low distortion, there are still two most important factors that must be dealt with if it is to be capable of driving loudspeaker loads "fast and clean". One is the "stiffness" or "muscle" of the output-driver stage; the other, a stable high capacity power  supply, capable of providing the instentaneous current demands of the circuit. By utilizing the D-350 power supply, with its 300 joule energy storage, and the D-100A output stage rebiased to a much higher "idle" current (the 3 built-in, superquiet fans keep the ambient temperature to a very reasonable level), an amplifier has been created that provides a new level of music reproduction. To obtain the performance this amplifier is capable of, it is recommended that only commensurate quality preamplifier-control units (such as the SP-3B, SP-5, SP-6) be used with it. Also, only high quality turntables with stable arms and cartridges should be used.

Marantz 2100 Tuner

Some of the technical features of the Model 2100

DUAL GATE MOSFET FRONT END

One very important area of any tuner is its "front end". This is the first section of the tuner through which the radio frequency signals are amplified. The design of the front end greatly influences the sensitivity, noise, and selectivity characteristics of the tuner. Most tuners being built today use MOSFETS (Metal Oxide Semi-conducting Field Effect Transistors). MOSFETS are used for three basic reasons:

(1) IMPROVED LINEARITY

MOSFETS have the ability to amplify over a wide dynamic range of signal levels while maintaining the correct linear relationships between input and output. This gives them a higher overload capability.

(2) LOWER INHERENT NOISE

These devices contribute to a better quieting slope (see next section).

(3) HIGH INPUT IMPEDANCE

MOSFETS have very high input impedances, which reduce loading effects on tuned circuits and result in better tuner selectivity.

QUIETING SLOPE

The quieting slope specification measures a tuner's ability to provide good signal-to-noise performance under actual operating conditions. It is a far more reliable indication of performance quality than the IMF (Institute of High Fidelity) sensitivity figure often quoted as the prime specification to consider when evaluating an FM tuner.

The IHF figure gives only the number of microvolts necessary for minimum quality reception: A signal with 3% distortion and noise (30 dB quieting) hardly qualifies as high fidelity.

A signal-to-noise ratio in excess of 50 dB (the revised 1975 IHF specification) is generally recognized to be necessary for high quality listening. It is most important then, to examine a tuner's ability to quiet quickly beyond the 30 dB quieting point.

Quieting slope sensitivity figures measure the signal-to-noise ratio in the crucial five-to-500 microvolt range, where the majority of usable broadcast signals fall. The steeper the slope, the quieter, and therefore the more listenable, the station.

LINEAR PHASE IF SECTION

The performance of the FM tuner is also influenced to a great extent by the performance of its Intermediate Frequency (IF) amplifier. The ideal IF amplifier should accept the desired band of frequencies with minimum phase distortion, while rejecting all undesired signals.

The IF amplifier used in the Model 2100 includes an integrated circuit designed expressly for FM reception, and three dual-element ceramic filters.

Use of this 1C provides excellent capture ratio and AM suppression. The ceramic filters are ideal in that the 200 kHz passband is phase linear with sharp cutoff slopes. This eliminates a major source of high frequency distortion and loss of stereo separation. The sharp cutoff slopes improve the tuner's rejection and selectivity characteristics, permitting a clear reception even when stations are closely spaced.

PARAMETRIC MUTING CIRCUIT

FM tuning is made completely noise-free by a special parametric-type muting circuit. The circuit responds to two characteristics of the FM signal: RF signal strength and DC offset at the ratio detector, thus assuring positive muting of the audio signal even under the most adverse conditions.

PHASE LOCKED LOOP FM STEREO DEMODULATOR

The Phase Locked Loop (PLL) design was developed originally to provide a state-of-the-art. communication system for the space industry. Today the same technology is used in the Model 2100 to assure low distortion, excellent stereo separation, and superior noise rejection.

PLL circuitry positively locks to the stereo pilot signal broadcast by an FM station. This precise "phase lock" is absolutely necessary for high performance in the stereo demodulation process: It enables the multiplex demodulator to separate the stereo channel information from the FM multiplex signal with more accuracy and less distortion than multiplex demodulators using other designs.

In addition, PLL is dependent on pilot phase rather than pilot amplitude, making it less susceptible to false triggering from various types of noise interference.

Advent Model 201 Cassette Recorder

The Advent model 201 Tape deck is, to our way of thinking, the ideal source for playing music in the home. It combines the important characteristics of a high-performance open-reel tape recorder  with the convenience of cassettes. The Advent Model 201 will make recordings that are indistinguishable from most source material, including the best stereo records and FM broadcasts.

Of equal importance, the Model 201 realizes the full potential of the new "Dolbyized" commercially recorded cassettes, the most significant source of recorded music since the introduction of the stereo disc.  The best of the "Dolbyized" pre-recorded cassettes are easily the equivalent of the best disc recordings, and the number of releases will be continually in creasing.

The Model 201 has the ruggedness and day-to-day operating dependability of the best home recorders, and will maintain its original performance over long and constant use.

Intro

The Advent Model 201 is a high performance cassette tape deck incorporating many recent advances in home entertainment electronics. The most significant of these is the Dolby System, a patented electronic circuit that greatly reduces the amount of noise added by the tape during the recording process. In addition the Model 201 incorporates the circuitry to take full advantage of the new DuPont-developed chromium dioxide tape sold by Advant under the ADVOCATE Crolyn label.

The Model 210 incorporates more than the usual number of user-accessible adjustments to permit the serious recordist to achieve the recording quality that, just a short time ago, was thought possible only with the best and most expensive open reel recorders.

Specifications

The Model 201 is the synthesis of the various elements required for high fidelity cassette performance; a heavy duty transport mechanism with stable mechanical characteristics; low-distortion, low-noise electronics; a high performance head; the proper use of Crolyn tape, and the Dolby System. A separate low noise microphone preamplifier is available as an accessory for those interested in professional quality live recording.

The transport uses a high-torque AC motor coupled through an intermediate rubber idler to an oversized, balanced capstan flywheel. In addition to low wow and flutter, the transport provides very fast wind speeds and an extremely accurate tape counter for easy indexing of recorded material. At the end of cassette, the pinch roller and heads are automatically disengaged.

The electronics, completely designed and manufactured by Advent, adapt many of the features found previously only in expensive reel to reel tape decks to cassette circuitry. The dynamic range and Signal-to-Noise ratio in all electronic stages exceed by a significant margin those of any known tape so that the electronics in no way limit performance. In fact, the ultimate performance, like that of the very good open reel recorders, is limited by the tape itself.
