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.

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.
