Arcam Alpha 2 amplifier


The improvements that have been taking place in turntables, CD players, and loudspeakers demand a new level of performance from the amplifier - the heart of every hi-fi system. The discerning buyer expects that today's amplifier should combine a natural yet dynamic and powerful sound quality with good looks and ease of operation. above all, the amplifier's standard of manufacture and quality control should promise years of consistent, trouble free performance.
Until now, only a handful of designs were able to meet all of these stringent criteria. Unfortunately the prices of amplifiers in this select group often made them incceassible to those on a limited budget. Arcam, recognising this unfulfilled demand, has now designed and produced  a modern, top quality amplifier that is truly affordable - the Arcam Alpha 2.
Offering many of the sonic benefits of more expensive models, the Arcam Alpha 2 would be regarded as a fine amplifier at any price. However, when its outstanding performance, facilities and construction are compared with other amplifiers at its price level, it is clear that the Alpha 2 is destined to become a classic, setting the new standards by which all others will be judged.

Philosophy
The Arcam Alpha 2 is a product of Arcam's many years of experience in amplifier design and manufacture. Detailed theoretical analysis and extensive listening have produced a design that is technically outstanding. This design has been realised in practice using high quality components selected for optimum electrical and sonic performance. The result is an amplifier that maintains the full dynamics of a musical performance while reproducing the subtleties and emotion both accurately and naturally.
Power
Not only does the Alpha 2 produce a generous 30 watts continuous output per channel into 8 ohms,  but its special high peak current output stage will drive loudspeakers whose impedance dips as low as 2 ohms. Unlike many other amplifiers the Alpha 2 can be run continuously at high levels because its coolrunning aluminium chassis will not overheat.
Versatility
As well as working properly with all commonly available loudspeakers, the Arcam Aplha 2 is fully compatible with a wide variety of programme sources. Five inputs are available; four are selected by a rotaty switch and the fifth by the nearby tape monitor button. all the inputs use a high quality and robust design of phono socket.
The Alpha 2's cartridge input is specialy optimised for use with any moving magnet cartridge or high output moving coil cartridge. The highest quality low output moving coil cartridges can also be accommodated using our optional plug in MCA pre-pre-amplifier board.
There is a dedicated input for a CD player, further inputs for a Tuner and Video playback and finally a set of line level input and output sockets suitable for use with a tape recorder.
Fexibility
A quality domestic hi-fi amplifier can and should possess those genuinely useful facilities which can improve the performance of the complete system. Typical of Arcam's attention to detail is the Alpha 2' volume control which has been psychoacoustically designed to allow ease of adjustment at the low volume levels often used in the home. limited range bass and treble controls of advanced design are also provided. These allow precise adjustment of the frequency extremes without coloration of the critical midfrequency band. Used sensibly they can help correct for imperfections elsewhere in the system, particularly those associated with cartridges and loudspeakers. The constant power law balance control also helps in this respect. The tone and balance controls all have a centre click stop to provide a reference response in the centre position.
The Alpha 2 has a front pabel socket which will suit a wide variety of stereo headphones. The headphones and loudspeakers will normally work together as the main loudspeaker sockets are wired directly to the amplifier's output to obtainthe best possible sound quality. However  a second pair of loudspeaker socket is also fitted enabling the loudspeakers to be muted automatically whenever headphones are plugged in.

Electronic Design
The disc pre-amplifier uses a low noise professional IC and employs audiophile grade 1% metal film resistors and polypropylene capacitors in the critical RIAA equalisation network. This ensures a clean, accurate sound.
Uniguely the Alpha2 is also configurated to accept out plug in moving coil cartridge pre-pre-amplifier board, the MCA. The MCA and Alpha 2 combination has a much lower noise level and correspondingly greater fidelity than other similarly priced amplifiers. This allows the Alpha 2 to be used successfully with some of the world's finest MC cartridges.
All other inputs are fed directly to the Alpha 2's volume control to ensure a virtually infinite overload margin. The preamplifier stages which follow the volume control again employ low noise professional quality ICs and make minimal use of coupling capacitors to avoid degradation of the sudio signal. All preamplifier circuits are powered by two lownoise, low-impedance regulated power supplies.
The Arcam Alpha 2's power amplifier is an advanced bipolar, high slew-rate design with direct coupled fully complementary class AB output stages. Constant bias circuitry for the driver transistors maintains a clean, dynamic output throughout the entire operating range. The amplifier has a very high transient current capability, made possible by use of 100 watt power transistors combined with high value low ESR reservoir capacitors and a generously rated toroidal mains transformer. Together these permit instantaneous peak output levels of some 250 watts from a single channel into a 2 ohm load. Nevertheless the amplifier is effectively protected against overload. readily accessible fast-blow output fuses are also fitted for loudspeaker protection. They are connected within the main  feedback loop to prevent degradation of the signal. In addition the layout of the PCB has been optimised for such factors as maximum transient power capability and minimum on-board interaction.
Finally, the loudspeaker outputs use ultra high quality PCB mounted 4 mm sockets. These employ silver loaded contacts amd are soldered directly to the PCB to ensure integrity of the signal path. High quality matching plugs are supplied as standard.

Sony PS-X70 turntable


Consider the Sony Audio PS-X70 turntable. Think of it as a professional transcription turntable, for home use. At a price your audio conscious home can afford.
Think about two discrete servo-controlled motors. One for the platter, another for the tonearm.
And while you're thinking about Sony's hesitation-free BSL motor. No brushes. No slot. And absolutely no cogging. Just even, iniform rotation. Hour after hour. Year after year.
Our own quartz-locked magnedisc servo control system makes Sony direct-drive turntables immune to voltage fluctuations. It takes servo control to a new level of accuracy, by measuring turntable speed at the outer rim of the platter - not at the motor.
There's more you sholuld know; front-mounted feather-touch controls, electro-magnetic braking, special four-clamp head-shell connector, even resonance-free SBMC cabinet with flui-filled feet to eliminate acoustic feedback.

But perhaps the most amazing thing about our PS-X70 is that it's not alone.
It's just the top of our line. A whole line of new Sony Audio turntables, most of which have most of the features we've listed here.
And every one is designed as a system. With electronic, megnetic, and mechanical technologies contributing to a balanced level of audio performance no single innovation could achieve. We know about turntable innovation. We paractically wrote the book. Direct drive, servo control,Quartz lock, carbon fiber tonearm, Sony gave you then all. Long before almost anyone knew they existed. But we also know that innovation alone can't make a great audio component. Sound makes a great audio component.

Pioneer PL-12D


With this well-made stereo turntable, Pioneer proves once again that quality and parcticality are synonymous. The budget-prieced PL-12D gives you more for your stereo investment than you'd ever expect. A fine synchronous motor that helps cut out audible wow and flutter. An extremely steady belt-drive. An anti-skating control to lessen distortion. A cueing device with simultaneous movement with the start lever. And a beautifully-balanced S-shaped tonearm with plug -in type lightweight head-shell. For the man about to make his first investment into stereo components, the PL-12D becomes more than a budget investment but a truly professional turntable that will serve him well for many years of quality sound reproduction.
 Drive Motor Section
The Pl-12D employs a 4-pole synchronous motor and a belt-drive system to ensure stable rotation of the turntable platter that is free from line voltage fluctuation. The synchronous motor is much like the motors usually used only in expensive turntables, and is the quietest that you can own. It gives you an extremely high Signal-to-Noise ratio, extremely low wow and flutter, and helps cut down on irritating motor vibration

Tonearm Section
The tonearm of the PL-12D is the static-balanced, S-shaped type that uses a super hard alloy material aat the pivot point of its arm, thereby assuring sesnsitive, stable tracking at all times. The counter weight of the tone arm is the stylus pressure direct reading type that gives easy weight adjustment when cartridge-changing is necessary. Then there is a lightweight plug-in type headshell so that you may use a cartridge with its stylus pressure from 0,75 grams. To cut down on distortion, the PL-12D has an anti-skating control to suppress the harmful inward force of the stylus.

Other Distinctive features
The cueing control an oil-damped arm elevation device, is connected to the start lever and helpd prevent damage to your stylus or your record usually caused by misoperation. There is a stylus position gauge to facilitate easy installation of your favorite cartridge. And Pioneere used aluminum foil on the inner part of the Pl-12D's wooden cabinet to prevent external noise often caused by yoour amplifier or other equipment placed near the turntable. The cabinet itself elegantly styled is the spring-suspension type and designed to cope with external vibraation. The dust cover of the Pl-12D is hinged in the free-stop manner, permitting you to leaave it at rest at any angle you choose.

KEF Model 104aB


Designed to be positioned vertically on a speaker stand, Model 104aB is a further development of the highly acclaimed Model 104, where "aB" was an abbreviation for "acoustic Butterworth", relating to the shape of the acoustic response of the midrange and treble drivers in the crossover region.
The new network was designed by computer and in  combination with the t27 it gives a close approach to a theoretical third order Butterworth response. A comparasion of measured and theoretical responses shows that sound output remains within ±1 dB of the ideal curve over most of the frequency range from 500 to 20,000 Hz. Likewise the phase response is very nearly perfect. KEF engineers have called the new circuit an acoustic Butterworth (aB) filter network.

The aB section has three functions:
1 - To compensate for the high frequency roll-off due to voice coil inductance.
2 - To exactly compensate for the Q and impedance of the drive unit at this fundamental response frequency.
3 - To provide terminal volts on the drive unit for a constant voltage input, which vary with frequency in such a way that the acoustical frequency response corresponds to that of a third order Butterworth high pass filter.

The effect of the modification is immediately audible as a marked reduction in colouration and is particularly beneficial in the reproduction of voices and stringed instruments.
The improvement in transient response gives increased depth perspective and much sharper imaging when reproducing stereophonic signals.


To achieve an extended frequency response from a compact cabinet without loss of efficiency. Model 104aB incorporates a 13" x 9" bass radiator acoustically coupled to an 8" bass unit. Operating in phase below 45 Hz the two units combine to offer the equivalent radiating area of a 15" bass unit. All this from an enclosure just 13' wide. This system is rated to handle 100 watts on normal musical programme and the high frequency unit is protected by a fuse against fault conditions such as switching transients and high speed spooling.
Model 104 loudspeaker systems may be upgrated to Model 104aB specification using the Model 104 modification kit which  is available from KEF dealers.
