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.

Hafler DH-110 preamplifier

The DH-110's low noise and distortion, versatily control center is the standard bearer of the Hafler line. The DH-110 challenges comparison at any price on any criteria.

The improvements the DH-110 lends to your system are obvious the moment you start to listen. A three-dimensional image takes shape, acoustics are more accurate, voices are more precise transients are more articulate.. With the DH-110 reproduced sound becomes real.

Facilities include two magnetic phono inputs, two complete tape circuits with monitoring facilities and LED indication of monitoring mode a separate input-output loop for an equalizer or other signal processor a switchable highpass filter easy conversion to rack mounting (adapters are supplied), a front panel jack for most high impedance headphones, or for tape recording, and two pairs of audio outputs - one of which is switched by the headphone jack for private listening.

The full complementary symmetry circuit employs all discrete silicon transistors - no ICs. Precisions components hold very tight tolerances on inter-channel balance and RIAA equalization. This assures accurate phase relationships for correct spatial perspectives. An integral muting circuit eliminates turn-on and turn-off annoyances. The precision volume control ,maintains accurate balance between channels. The tone controls are effective while audibly unobtrusive but may be totally bypassed.

Less obvious significant refinements include a full power bandwidth that extends to 200 kHz, easily accommodating problem signals, a low impedance power supply; the use of low distortion low dielectric loss capacitors; silver plated contacts on the selector switches for long term noise-free operation; internal grounding of unused inputs for lower crosstalk; internal sockets for phono loading capacitors to accommodate specific cartridges; and a very wide phono acceptance level to handle the full dynamic range of the best cartridges.
