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.

McIntosh MA 6400
McIntosh has been manufacturing Integrated Amplifiers since 1963, with the current models representing the fifth generation of this popular combination design. The same design concepts and performance innovations that McIntosh has developed for their separate components have been incorporated into these combinations models.
The preamplifier sections reproduce traditional stereo audio with unsurpassed sonic accuracy without sacrificing control flexibility. Tone controls and loudness compensation are active circuits which provide precise adjustment and when set in the flat position, are electrically neutral and have no effect upon the signal. Flexibility is enhanced through full function remote control and traditional McIntosh ease of use is demonstrated by the layout and function of the controls.
The power amplifier section are identical in design to those of separate mcIntosh amplifiers, offering the same performance and traditional McIntosh design integrity. Both models provide illuminated power level wattmeters, which indicate the true power output delivered to the speakers, as well as other innovative circuit designs that together contribute to the legendary McIntosh sound.

JBL L-222 (1980)
The JBL L222 loudspeakers systems offers extended frequency response, great dynamic range, outstanding musical detail, and exceptionally good stereo imaging.
Innovative and advanced engineering gives the L222 its exciting sound. JBL engineers created a design that aligns the acoustic centers of the individual loudspeaker elements while retaining the ideal flat baffle panel. Thus, all frequencies maintain the same time relationship to each other as they had when they were recorded, giving music the "presence" and immediacy of a live performance.
The combination of a 355 mm (14 ") woofer and large passive rediator gives the L222 awesome, deep bass. The specific tuning of the passive rediator adds warmth and presence to the mid-bass region, producing a dramatic and powerful effect at high volumes and an exceptionally pleasing sound, retaining full musical detail, at low listening levels.
Bold Visual Style
A tall, slim wedge the enclosure is a product of the JBL tradition of fine craftsmanship and attention to detail, a tradition extending back to the origins of the audio industry.
The L222 appears almost two dimensional an exciting presence, yet not visually overpowering. Its columnar array places the transducers, as nearly as possible at ear level, where they perform to fullest advantage. At the same time, the amount of floor space required is minimal.
Made of extensively braced 19 mm (¾") compressed wood (acoustically superior to solid wood) the enclosure features a veneer of American black walnut, hand rubbed with an oil/wax preparation to a lustrus finish.
Power Capacity
JBL products are unique in combining high efficiency with high power capacity. The L222 produces sound at comfortable listening levels when driven by as little as 10 watts continuous sine wave, but for the best performance we recommend a more powerful amplifier. The L222 can be used with amplifiers rated up to 400 watts continuous sine wave per channel.

Luxman L-560 (1986)
Pioneer RT-1020L (1973)
Pioneer's advanced new open reel tape deck, the RT-1020L, is designed for tape enthusiasts who wouldn't look or listen twice at even the finest cassette decks, and who are seeking the ultimate of stereo tape performance. Luxuriously constructed with only the finst materials, built for years of rugged and dependable use under all operating conditions.
The RT-1020L offers remarkable cost/performance adventages, a variety of operating conveniences and the versatility that only an expensive machine can provide. Mechanically sound from three-motor tape transport, including six-pole induction motor, to extra-thick chassis and die-cast framework, the RT-1020L delivers the kind of reliability that only a studio engineer would appreciate. precision performance is another aspect of its all-around dependability, for this deck employs a 4/8 pole two-speed hysteresis synchronous motor, unusually accurate capstan - and then adds the new contour-less hyperbolic-type tape heads for high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio.
Indicative of its true professional capability, the RT-1020L accepts the large 10½ inch (267 mm) reels, rare for a deck of this attractive price. These extra-size reels permit twice the recording and playback time of ordinary 7 inch reels. You can thus record extra-long symphonies, or other musical performances, without reel or tape changing. And then for four-channel reproduction, the unit is equipped with a four-track in-line tape head and four-channels tapes now on the market. There are many other features, too, that make the Rt-1020L the tape deck buy of the year, no matter which other deck you might have been thinking of buying - and no mater how unlimited is your tape budget. For true tape deck value, no one ever has surpassed Pioneer.

Revox B 77
A well designed tape transport mechanism will not distort mechanically. It is insensitive to shocks and vibrations and will retain these qualities over a wide range of temperatures. Therefore, REVOX B77 tape recorders use diecast parts for the motor chassis, the side bearers, the crossmember and for the head block and the pinch roller arm. This ensures exceptional stability for the precision tape guiding system and the sound heads, as well as for the motors and the brake assembly. The motors are sturdy AC asynchronous types - unbeatable in simplicity and reliability - thus especially suited for heavy duty use.
Magnetic tape recorders are an outstanding example of the perfect combination of precision mechanics and top performing electronics. Even the best electronic circuitry would soon become worthless if the original precision in tape guiding is lost as a result of insufficient long term stability. One of the basic requirements, therefore, is to ensure stable performance for years with a rigid mechanical design which disregards the possible advantages that may lie in 'such tempting advertising claims as 'feather weight' and "slim line?!
Speed control via servo electronics
In 1967 STUDER REVOX had already ushered in the age of electronic capstan speed control for domestic tape recorders. Ever since then many have tried to copy it yet they have never been able to match its simplicity and effectiveness. The principle of electronically regulating a sturdy asynchronous motor by means of a separate precision reference has stood the test so well that it has been adopted for the STUDER professional tape recorders years ago. The capstan motor and its precision reference combined with the inductive speed sensor and its control circuits form a regulating loop which is highly insensitive to variations in power line voltage and frequency or changes in load. This system, which has proven its reliability in more than half a million tape drives, combined with ideal tape guiding results in outstanding motion stability (freedom from wow and flutter which remains unchanged for years. The remarkable mechanical and electronic stability of the complete tape transport mechanism makes it well suited for mobile operation by powering from car batteries in conjunction with an inverter.
For pitch matching or to achieve special effects, motor speed can also be varied continuously over a wide range with the help of an external speed control. The Revodur all metal heads for recording and playback, the erase head, the infrared tape sensor and the tape guides; all these components are mounted on a rigid die-cast frame. A fourth magnetic head can be fitted to record automatic slide synchronizing control signals (DIA/DHA/FH). These signals are recorded within the guard band of the tape allowing their use with normal stereo signals. As far as development of magnetic sound heads is concerned, STUDER REVOX is looking back on an experience which equals that of building tape recorders. Our experts manufacture all metal heads for REVOX B77 tape recorders and for professional sound recorders. The special alloy Revodur ensures excellent magnetic properties and outstanding wear characteristics. The shape of the head's face is designed to ensure a "ruler flat" response down to the lowest audio frequencies. Ease of editing
The practical edit facility is standard equipment on each Revox B77 recorder. By operating the sliding button, the tape is brought into contact with the heads, the playback amplifiers become activated and the fast wind buttons respond only as long as they are held depressed. This facilitates motor assisted searching for the edit point while final tape positioning is then performed manually. The thoughtful design of the lower control panel facilitates easy access to tape heads for accurate tape marking. An ingenuously conceived edit mode facilitates motor assisted tape shuttling and final manual locating of the exact edit point. B77 versions
Part of the B77 head block, showing the roller bearing tape guide and infra red tape end detector. The integrated tape cutter helps to make editing a simple task. Track configurations: Half track (S2):
Half track models are always selected when tape splicing (editing) is required. Because of the large track width of 2mm, these models feature excellent ratings with respect to frequency response and treble dynamic range. The half track version can be equipped with slide control electronics and an additional sound head. The high-speed version of the half track machine is ideally suited for applications requiring maximum audio quality (e.g. as effects machine in audio or film production). The quarter track (S4): The advantage of quarter track machines over half track machines is the double tape capacity. The quarter track B77 is suited for applications where long playing times (up to six hours on the standard speed B77) combined with excellent audio quality is essential. The quarter track machines can also be equipped with side control electronics and an additional sound head. Because of the narrower track width, the audio specifications are in certain areas slightly inferior to those of half track machines. The quarter track configuration interleaves the two stereo tracks. This allows the reels to be "turned over" allowing double the recording time The half track configuration uses the full width of the tape to lay down a stereo image.
