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.

Garrard X-11 "Demi" turntable

 

People in tight quarters, dorms or dens, pads or playrooms, are "spaced out" by the big sound of the compact Garrard X-11 "Demi". This fine space-saving machine packs more record playing capability than many a full scale turntable. Plays all size records at all speeds. Stacks up to eight records for smooth automatic play, steadied by a convenient swing-away overarm. And can even play a single manually or automatically. It has a tonearm rest that locks and unlocks automatically, and shut-oof is automatic too.

 

And is it ever built. Solid yet lightweight, it can take the kind of casual treatment to be expected in swinging quarters. The changer is virtually foolproof, cannot malfunction during cycling. The same goes for the high quality Garrard drive motor, you can count on it to run smooth and silent hour after hour, year after year with no special pampering.

Then there are all the ear-filling quality features that don't always meet the eye. The advanced design, low mass tubular aluminum tonearm so precisely balanced it follows the wildest groove like an angel. A first quality stereo ceramic cartridge with flip over diamond stylus, pressure adjusted for smooth distortion-free tracking.

And even if iti is small enough to tuck away in some convenient niche, Garrard has not stinted on its beauty. An ebony turntable on a green unit plate set off by en ebony pinseal base with sparkling silver trim and tinted styrene cover. It will glow from its hiding place.
