Garrard 40 Mk II turntable

Built to Garrard's highest standards, this handsomely designed 4-speed unit is actually an exceptionally compact automatic turntable at the price of an ordinary record charger.

It was designed to introduce a new concept of performance and versatility to systems where space must be considered. Despite its modest price, dealers large and small, in all parts of the country, have included its predecessor in the overwhelming majority of advertised music systems which they preselect. These dealers are aware that they can combine the 40 MkII with the finest amplifiers, receivers and speakers, and offer them to their most discriminating customers assured that it will be compatible and an enduring credit to their judgement.

The widespread dealer confidence which this Garrard model type has earned, is an significant as the impressive list of features which the 40 MkII offers. This is the lowest priced Garrard automatic turntable, but all Garrards must meet the same high standards of quality. The 40 MkII may be purchased with complete assurance that it will serve its purpose admirably, operating with utmost reliability from the beginning, and for years to come.

 

Shell is lightweight cut away type with extended finger lift for safety in handling. It plugs in, accommodates widest personal choice of cartridges, can be removed from the arm instantly to change cartridge or service stylus

Stylus pressure adjusted with simple, accessible finger touch device, for correct tracking force, according to the cartridge manufacturers specifications

Graceful cast aluminum tone arm is counterbalanced - first time this type of arm has been available in a popular priced unit. This feature alone gives the 40 Mk II particular significance - an automatic in the economy field which can track high quality cartridges for finer sound reproduction

Super sensitive trip, with Dupont Delrin to offset friction, operates with any high compliance pick up at correct minimal tracking force

Garrard 4-pole shaded "Induction Surge" motor, with dynamically balanced rotor, shielded from hum. Constant speed assured, free from vibration.

Oversized turntable with handsome mat is reminiscent of previous Garrard models in a considerably higher price echelon

Two spindles - a convenient short spindle for playing single records manually; an interchangeable center drop spindle for automatic play when desired. Spindles remove for safety and convenience when taking records off the turntable. In automatic position, 40 Mk II intermixes records of any size or sequence

BIC 940 turntable

B.I.C. has been a leader in the U.S high fidelity industry since 1937 and over the years has sold and serviced hundreds of thousands of fine turntables

Out of this experience a new turntable concept evolved. Quite simply it is a Multiple Play Manual Turntable, comparable in performance with the best turntables now available, and which incorporates automatic and multiple play features without sacrificing performance. It is a belt-drive turntable - belt drive a simple, quiet, wow-free method of turning the platter and isolating it from the motor.

It incorporates a program panel which allows the turntable to be operated in 3 modes;

1-As a single-play manual

2-As a single-play automatic in which the turntable cycles and shuts off at the touch of a button and will play one selection as many as 6 times automatically

3-As a multiple-play turntable that will play as many as 6 records in sequence

The B.I.C. motor is a low-speed (300 rpm) 24-pole synchronous motor as opposed to the 1800 rpm motors found in the majority of changers and automatics today.

Other evidences of design sophistication include isomer shock mounts (instead of springs), an extremely low profile , and a feather-touch cycle button which requires anly 90 gm pressure.

 

The B.I.C. 940 , in addition to the features noted above, has a low-mass tone arm which incorporates vertical tracking force adjustment in the isolated counter weight. Anti-skating is adjusted by a knob on the program panel. The tone arm is the equal of the most sophisticated available. It will track any cartridge, CD-4 included, at the lowest setting recommended by the manufacturer. Cueing is viscous damped up and down.

Performance is comparable with other manual turntables which are much more ex[pensive. The Model 940 is designed to function with as fine a system as you choose to assemble and yet is priced modestly enough to be a logical choice for any system being put together on a strict budget.

 

The B-l-C Multiple Play Manual Turntable represents the culmination of many years of engineering design effort directed towards the development of a superior manual turntable equipped with automatic, multiple record playing facilities.

Its drive system utilizes a slow speed (300 rpm) 24 pole synchronous motor, and belt drive, previously found only in fine manual turntables. This results in significantly reduced rumble, wow and flutter since idler-pulleys are totally eliminated. The Model 940 maintains precise speed over a wide range of power line voltages, since its motor’s rotational rate is determined solely by power line frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz).

The tonearm system features minimal friction bearings, low mass and resonance, stylus force, and tonearm balancing and an isolated counterweight to maintain optimal tracking force from the first to last record played. Another exclusive feature, a pivotable cartridge shell, permits easy cartridge installation.

The programmer system eliminates the inherent shortcomings of conventional turntables because its action is independent of erratic spindle-sensing mechanisms or dimensional variations of records. The programmer allows for totally manual play or automatic play of single records, repeat playing of single records, programmed play of up to six records, or automatic play of multiple records with programmed repeatability of the last record, all by means of a single touch button.

The suspension system has been designed to prevent mechanical or acoustic vibration coupling, thereby permitting you to take full advantage of the wide dynamic musical range now available in modern disc recordings.

 

Features:

The Model 940 is wired for 117 volts, 60 cycle operation in the United States. The unit is compatible with 50 cycle operation and can be easily converted. On the underside of all units is a code tag which lists electrical specifications. The Model 940 requires a 50 cycle pulley. This part is available through your dealer or from British Industries Co. Detailed information is supplied with each 50 cycle kit. For operation on 220 volts, contact your local dealer or service center for a suitable step-down transformer and conversion.

Cartridge Mounting Screws The Model 940 is supplied with several pairs of machine screws,

No. 3-48 American standard machine screws.

Belt The drive belt used is made to exact specifications for maximum performance. If ever a new belt is required, we highly recommend that you purchase the genuine, exact factory replacement as inferior replacement belts will seriously downgrade the performance of your unit. This is also available through your local dealer or British Industries Co.

Motor B-l-C Turntables incorporate a 24-pole, 300 rpm motor of outstanding characteristics.

The design nature of this motor insures many trouble-free hours of listening pleasure and very seldom, if ever, requires maintenance or lubrication.

Speed The Model 940 will play records recorded at 33-1/3 and 45 rpm.

Record Size Twelve inch 33-1/3 rpm records may be stacked and played automatically on the automatic spindle supplied with the unit. Seven inch 45 rpm records may be stacked and played automatically on the optional automatic 45 rpm adaptor, Stock No. A-2.

All other size 33-1/3 and 45 rpm records can, of course, be played manually.

Maximum Number of Records B-l-C Turntables accept and play up to six records automatically.

Cartridge B-l-C Turntables will accept any cartridge manufactured at the time of this writing, and will track at the lightest force recommended by cartridge manufacturer.

Cable Capacitance The total cable capacitance (all wiring) of the Model 940 is less than 125 pf and, therefore, is perfectly compatible with Discrete Four Channel records (CD-4).

Infinity Qa speakers

The new Qa, our lowest priced speaker, has actually been compared to our formidable (and formidably expensive) Quantum Line Source.

Small wonder, Qa was conceived with much of the same advanced technology and all of the same commitment to excellence that gave birth to the QLS. In both speakers you'll find our exclusive EMIT electromagnetic induction tweeter, originally developed for the QLS, EMIT achieves a super auditory 32,000 Hz with extraordinary power and wide dispersion. Our technologically advanced Q-woofer delivers a tight, clean rock-solid 42 Hz at the bottom.

Yet Qa can be driven with as little as 15 or as much as 150 watts per channel (wherever you're at with amp power, Qa is there , too)

The proof is in the listening, qa is everything you'd expect from Infinity.

 

The Landmark EMIT

EMIT - Infinity's exclusive new electromagnetic induction tweeter is a significant advance in the technology of high frequency transducers. You'll find EMIT in our Quantum Line Source. You'll also find it in Qa.

The magnetic analogue of an electrostatics - as well as to cone and dome drivers. EMIT radiates sound from an ultra-thin and light plastic film diaphragm. Because it is driven over all of its effective radiating area, it is always controlled by the input signal. And because it is lightweight, it can be controlled accurately and precisely, providing a smooth, extended frequency response and excellent transients.

Performance of cone and dome drivers, on the other hand, is inherently limited by their technology.

Driven locally by a voice coil, accurate control of the radiating area is limited by the cone/diaphragm stiffness, as well as by its weight. Cones and domes therefore are limited in their transient response and in their ability to effectively couple to the air. These limitations are most evident at high frequencies.

EMIT, with a low-mass diaphragm driven over its entire area by powerful magnets of rare-earth Samarium Cobalt, achieves superior levels of transient response and accuracy.

Musically, this translates into a clarity and transparency, a filigree-detailing of mid and high frequencies that is unsurpassed by any other driver in the world.

EMIT is sound years ahead of other drivers in other ways as well. Its phenomenal power capacity derives from several EMIT ingredients; its impedance, which is almost pure resistance, allowing the amplifier to drive it more easily; a unique "voice-coil" which is etched directly onto the surface of the diaphragm, allowing efficient heat dispersion - all of these result in a speaker that can reproduce exceptionally high sound levels.

Wide dispersion is another Emit benefit. Its one-half-inch wide radiating source achieves wide horizontal dispersion through the highest audible frequencies.

As you can hear for yourself, EMIT gives Qa a combination of subtle delicacy, sledgehammer power capacity and dispersion never attained by either electrostatics or by conventional dome drivers.

 

Our Q-woofer

You'll find advanced Infinity technology in our Q-woofer as well. A specially-formulated QX™ material damps out spurious resonances that cause coloration in other cone drivers. Our low-mass, high-excursion Q-woofer delivers tight, extended and startlingly accurate bass as well as extraordinary midrange - the kind of midrange associated with 3 and 4-way systems.

A heavy butyl surround couples its mass progressively to that of our light weight Q-woofer cone ay low frequencies. This result in superior transient performance in the upper part of the woofer's range without sacrifice of low frequency response.

A unique voice-coil former, or bobbin, in the woofer is of phosphor bronze. Like the aluminum traditionally used in voice-coil formers, this metal aids in heat dissipation; but it avoids the reverse-eddy currents that slow down rise-time.

Therefore the rise-time of our Q-woofer is extremely fast, bass transient response is phenomenally accurate.

 

Enough about means

Listen to the end result. Test Qa in an Infinity dealer's showroom against the toughest musical parameters; the breadth and sweep of the Horenstein Mahler Third on Nonesuch, the slashing brass of McConnell on Umbrella, the introspection of Almeida on Crystal Clear, the transparency and three-dimensional depth of Randy Sharp on Nautilus.

Then listen to your own favorite and familiar records through Qa. We guarantee you'll be hearing them for the first time.

 

About Power and Positioning

The Qa was designed to be suitable for low-powered amplifiers. Yet if you have a $10,000 system you'll find that Qa can handle your highly-powered amp - to and beyond any comfortable living-room listening level. Put a pair of Qa's in your study as second speakers (then don't be surprised when you start spending more time in your study.)

A word about placement. Don't hem in the Qa between bookshelves, but  do raise it off the floor. Our optional pedestals do the job easily and optimally - about twelve inches worth. And when you place these speakers a couple of feet away from the well, remarkable things happen;

A sense of spaciousness will "appear" around the musicians; all frequencies will "open up" with a very real sense of depth; no voices or instruments will be thrust unnaturally forward from the speakers or made unnaturally larger than reality - but those musicians farther away during the original performance will be perceived as farther from the listener.

This spatial imagery and total musical honesty is characteristic of our most expensive Infinity speakers; and now, of our least expensive speakers as well.

In fact, the Qa has everything you'd expect from Infinity.

Infinity Quantum 2 speakers

 

Where in the world can you hear the revolutionary woofer with the dual voice coil? Only in Infinity's Quantum Series. Our Quantum Line Source speaker reaches down to 18 Hz.

Here in its closest competitor, the Quantum 2, it goes to 24 Hz - nut you get an extra 2 dB of efficiency.

And where will you find the satiny sounding Electromagnetic Induction Tweeter (EMIT)/? Only in Infinity's Quantum Series.

The Quantum Line Source stacks them four feet high. The slightly more compact Quantum 2 uses the same tweeters, but not quite so lavishly.

In between those extraordinary, exclusive low and high drivers, both QLS and Q2 use Infinity's high-definition 1-1/2-inch dome midrange driver and transmission-line midbass coupler.

 

What comes out of the Dual-Drive Woofer is a new bass experience

Everybody knew for years it was impossible to get acceptable efficiency, good transient response, enough power, and extended bass range out of any enclosure of reasonable size. So every speaker system in the world represented a serious compromise of one or more of those desirable characteristics. Until, William Watkins found the solution to problems of the speaker's fundamental resonance, back-EMF and the resultant impedance peak. He invented a woofer with two voice coils. Right down where rising impedance and failing response were inevitable before, his second voice coil takes over, presenting a low impedance path to the amplifier in the region of resonance.

Now the speaker can make use of the amplifier's power at low frequencies, because back-EMF is reduced. Now input rather than inherent resonance can control the cone. Now extended bass response and accurate transient performance can co-exist beautifully. The bass driver that makes all this happen is called the Infinity-Watkins Dual-Drive Woofer. It is one of the significant audio advanced that set Infinity's Quantum Series apart.

 

Infinity EMIT is like the sweetest of sopranos without a trace of temperament

Working for years to perfect the electrostatic tweeter for what became our $4000 Servo Statik 1A speaker system, we dreamed of creating the magnetic counterpart of the electrostat. Without any of the same problems of breakdown or need for a transformer. With the same advantages of a low mass diaphragm driven uniformly overall. If only there were a magnet powerful enough. We finally found our magnet, made with the rare-earth material Samarium Cobalt, four to seven times more powerful than the finest alnico magnet.

And then we found we could make a tweeter that was not only easier to control than the electrostatic, but also easier to listen to. With admirable range and realism and nearly perfect horizontal dispersion. This new breed is named EMIT Electromagnetic Induction Tweeter Audio technicians esteem it technically. Music-lovers love it instantly.

 

More than merely a revolutionary woofer and superlative tweeters

High-definition 1-1/2" dome drivers reproduce the midrange in the Quantum Series. And in the midbass (200 to 600 Hz), where about half of all musical fundamentals lie, we felt it vital to provide our Quantum 2, like our Quantum Line Source, with a driver that could speak with absolute accuracy. The answer is our meticulous midbass coupler.

We at Infinity have strong feelings and a goodly store of savvy about phasing and crossover technology. The finest fruits of our stubbornness and know-how are the startlingly lifelike stereo imaging and depth that our Quantum Series speakers produce.

Luxman PX-99 turntable

Semi-Automatic Direct Drive Turntable

With the PX-99, Luxman has combined the most important features and performance with a striking and simple design.

The motor is direct drive, and has no noisy mechanical linkages and resonance-prone parts. It's also a quartz-locked motor, assuring you of accurate speed and stability.

The tonearm represents a new generation of low-mass, low-friction Luxman designs. It is statically balanced so you can adjust tracking force with exceptional accuracy. The headshell is low in mass, rigid, and removeable. And because the PX-99 is semi-automatic, the tone arm lifts off the record at the end of play, and allows the PX-99 to shut itself off.

A unique feature of the PX-99, when used with Luxman KX-Series cassette deck, the Auto Pause Output puts the cassette deck in the pause mode when the record has reached the end of play.

The PX-99 pays attention to everything that's critical in turntable design. Rumble is inaudible. Wow and Flutter can hardly even be measured. Tracking ability is flawless.

 

Features:

Optical Sensing Arm Lift System - when record playback is finished, the tonearm automatically lifts and shuts off the motor because the optical circuit senses the lift-off point, it makes no mechanical contact with the tonearm at all while playing records, so operation is smooth and accurate

Auto Lift Control Switch - the Auto Lift Control is useful for playback of records with a music groove engraved very close to the label. The tonearm is designed so it will not lift off, even at the innermost part of the disc.

New Static Balanced Straight-Light Tonearm - the PX-99's long straight arm has better trackability than the regular short S-shaped arm used on most turntables. It also has very low mass and low resonance. The Low Mass Arm realizes accurate sound reproduction even from high dynamic range, digitally recorded records.

Auto Disc Pause - when activated  a built-in circuit of the PX-99 automatically places your accompanying KX-100, KX-101 or KX-102 cassette deck in the pause mode from the record mode, when the record being taped reaches the end of play. Allows you to leave the system unattended while taping.
