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.

Fisher 500-TX receiver

AM/FM Stereo Receiver, with Four methods of Tuning

Engineering leadership of thirty two years in creating the finest receiving equipment has reached its culmination in the Fisher 500-TX. This powerful AM-FM Stereo Receiver is truly the connoisseur's dream, incorporating every state-of-the-art. Feature,

 

Four method of Tuning

Manual - Fisher's ultra-smooth flywheel mechanism assures effortless AM and FM tuning across the large, illuminated, easy-to-read dial scale

Pushbutton - Fisher's Tune-O-Matic Memory Tuning provides instant selection of any one of your four favourite FM stations, simply by pushing a button. This is accomplished by four separate tuning mechanisms and four individual dials with separate control knobs on the front panel. Perfectly matched varactor diodes (variable capacitance or "tuning" diodes) select the exact frequency to which each memory is pre-set, assuring precise tuning each time the station is selected. Drift or deviation from the pre-set position is avoided, since the signal frequency is "locked-in" by AFC.

AUTOSCAN Touch Tuning - is the remarkable FM tuning mode which affords effortless scanning of the FM band in both directions, at the touch of a button. Completely electronic with no motors or moving parts, this unique circuit uses the same varactors previously described to tune either one station at a time, or station after station in continuous sequence. Autoscan tunes in complete silence and will lock onto each station with unerring accuracy, to  degree unmatched by any conventional tuning method.

Remote Control - Station selection using the Autoscan circuit may also be accomplished by means of an accessory unit (Fisher RK-30) which provides convenient tuning from a remote position in the listening area. The RK-30 is a hand-held remote control with 20 feet of flexible cable which permits the user to select stations without leaving his seat.

 


Highest Sensitivity

The sensitivity of the 500-TX, is rated at 1,7 µV, representing the all-important factor in the outstanding ability of the tuner to provide strong and clear reception of even the weakest signals. The FM front end consists of a 4-gang circuit incorporating four newly developed varactor diodes plus dual-gate MOSFETs in the RF and mixer stages. A highly efficient AGC circuit effectively prevents overload and distortion in very strong signal areas, such as cities, even though signals as high as one volt are received.

 


Highest Selectivity

Clean reception of weak, distant stations located adjacent in frequency to very strong local stations is provided by a crystal filter in the FM-IF stage of the tuner. Previously available only in the most expensive communications and military receivers, this filter is utilized to its fullest advantage in the 500-TH to pull in distant stations with "crystal" clearness. A distinct advantage of crystal filters, as compared with conventional filter coils, is that they never need alignment.

The AM-IF section is equipped with a 4-resonator ladder-type ceramic filter of exceptionally high selectivity. This filter assures vastly improved reception of distant AM stations and, in addition, eliminates annoying whistles. It provides optimum bandwidth for vastly superior AM reception

The AM section also features a 3-gang variable capacitor, a tuned RF and a mixer section using a newly developed dual-transistor circuit to minimize noise and prevent overloading.

Denon DRA-600 receiver

Class-A Amplification and Synthesized Tuning AM/FM Stereo Receiver

The first receiver from a true Audiophile Company, Denon DRA-600

The Denon DRA-600, a synthesis of Denon's greatest technological strengths. From our many years of experience with moving-coil cartridges we gave it a moving-coil preamplifier stage sonically as transparent as our renowned separate head-amps.

From our fifty-plus years (1981) of electronics design experience, we powered the DRA-600 with a proprietary Denon Class-A power amp, a design that delivers unparalleled definition and openness, yet avoids the excessive heat, size and cost of traditional Class-A amplifiers

And, from our decade of experience since our invention of commercial digital recording (PCM), we equipped the DRA-600 with a digitally synthesized tuner stage for the most precise station tuning with the lowest distortion. Plus we added the convenience of eight AM and Eight FM presets with automatic station scanning. The DRA-600 from Denon, where innovation is a tradition.

Kenwood KR-6340 receiver

Kenwood Two-Four Receiver

This receiver in the new Kenwood "Two-Four" line gives you: firstly, it functions as a high-grade stereo receiver with 80 watts of RMS power (152 watts total IHF music power); secondly, it decodes regular matrix (RM sources with accurate four-channel separation); thirdly, its SQ decoder circuit permits 4-channel play of SQ Matrix records; and , last but not least, it accepts a little plug-in CD-4 demodulator - our model KCD-2 - for playing discrete 4-channel CD-4 records. So, whatever the situation in regard to record availability in your area may be, whatever personal listening preferences you may have, whether you want to go 4-channel right now or wait a little longer, the KR-6340 is tailor-made to your needs.

Coming from Kenwood, the KR-6340 boasts the kind of careful, guaranteed engineering that's exemplified by DSD FM stereo decoding, unconditionally guaranteed output power at any frequency, and fully electronic protection against short-circuits and overload. All told, a two-channel/four-channel receiver that continues a great tradition of Kenwood high fidelity.
