AGO
 A great high fidelity system is very easy on the ears, but not
always very easy on the budget.
But now, for this month only, you can buy Pioneer high fidelity
components for savings unlikely to be repeated..
For the first time in history you can take advantage of the great
Pioneer Month Sale.
Pioneer has reduced many prices to our dealers for this sale to
make it possible for them to pass these savings on to you.
Every receiver has been specially priced. Including the
industry's best selling SX-780, which critics say, "has a level of
performance that's hard to distinguish from that of much more
expensive receivers':
Every quartz turntable. Including Pioneer's high -end PL -630.
Even our PL -518, already considered by many to be the best
engineered direct drive turntable for the money, has been spe-
cially priced.
The great Pioneer Month Sale also covers tape decks. Includ-
ing the hottest selling deck of the year, the CTF-900, featuring
Fluroscan metering. Our latest series of amps and tuners.
Speakers. Headphones. Even add-ons. Like our TV tuner that
brings big screen sound to the little screen.
Most people think they have to wait till January to afford the
component they wanted to give in December. But not anymore.
So if the component you set your heart on costs an arm and a
leg, come to your local Pioneer dealer during Pioneer Month
Sale. You'll find the item that was once out of reach is now within
your grasp.
Pioneer Month Sale is only at your participating Pioneer
dealer. Look for the Pioneer Month Sale wall poster or banner in
your dealer's window. It will direct you to Pioneer Montn Sale,
that's really the sale of the year. OhWePIONEEna

 This year, our Annual Equipment Directory, the
21st, contains some 40,000 specifications on over 2,700 pieces
of gear. This contrasts with 30,000 specs on 2,400 items last year and
about 550 and 55 pieces the first year. While we have had to rely on the maker's
data, since measurement of so many parameters would be beyond our means,
we have found that such data is generally very realiable, with most all
discrepancies traceable to differing techniques. N While we have introduced
several new columns throughout the Directory, in an effort to make it more
useful, such features as the various letter codes were retained. We recommend
that the reader contact the individual maker for more complete explanations of
features. N An Addenda, with data received too late for inclusion here, will
appear in the January issue.

Two Electrifying Albums of Music for Organ, Brass & Percussion

Prepare yourself for an incredible advancement in recorded sound. "Sonic Fireworks" combines hair-
raising cymbal clashes, spectacular percussion, brilliant brass and awesome low frequency organ pedal
notes. At the Consumer Electronics Show (where these records were previewed), listeners proclaimed
them as masterpieces, technically as well as musically.
They were recorded Direct To Disc on location in Atlanta. Only two microphones were employed to flaw-
lessly capture the full range of dynamics as well as the marvelous ambience of the roam. A rare and unique
achievement!
Volume One opens w th Aaron Copland's Fanfare For The Common Man in a version destined to become
a mandatory reference record for audiophiles. The combination of organ with brass and percussion gen-
erates an excitement rarely combined with state-of-the-art recording quality. Since Stanley Kubrick used
Strauss' Fanfare from Also Sprach Zarathrustra for his film 2001, it has become popular with high fidelity
buffs as a definitive test of loudspeakers. This performance combines the explosive fidelity of Direct To
Disc with superior musicianship to create the definitive version.
For the ultimate in sound quality, there simply is no substitute for Crystal Clear Direct To Disc recordings.

Introducing the Avid
Mode1110 Minimum
Diffraction Loudspeaker.
The New Reference
Standard Under $150.
Utilizing the innovative design
techniques which have made our
revolutionary line of loudspeakers so
popular, Avid introduces a compact
Minimum Diffraction Loudspeaker'
for less than $150.
Its performance characteristics
are so superior for the price, that the
Model 110 establishes a reference
standard that challenges comparison.
Overall system response (48 Hz
to 20 kHz ±3 dB) is truly exceptional
for a speaker in this price range, and
few loudspeakers in its class offer
88 dB efficiency along with 100 -watt
power handling capability.
Avid builds its own drivers to
meet the specific design objectives of
each system, and the Model 110 is no
exception.
Power handling of the 1 -inch
soft dome tweeter is achieved with a
design incorporating magnetic fluids
and a high -temperature voice coil.
Avid's proprietary cone treatment
techniques enable the 8 -inch woofer
to roll off mechanically; eliminating
the need for an electronic crossover.
The Model 110 is a totally inte-
grated design yielding a level of per-
formance usually found only in the
most expensive loudspeaker systems.
Audition the Model 110 and
other Avid Minimum Diffraction Loud-
speakers' at your Avid dealer.

 fact:
we've put a NEW plus
into the Super -Track Plus
family of V15 Type III Cartridges
Hyperelliptical tip for
audibly greater freedom
from distortion
One of the critically acclaimed developments
introduced in Shure's incomparable V15 Type IV
phono cartridge is its revolutionary distortion -reducing
Hyperelliptical nude diamond tip. It established a new
standard of sound purity through a dramatic reduction
of both harmonic and intermodulation distortion. Now,
the Hyperelliptical tip is also available in the world-
famous V15 Type III Super -Track Plus Cartridge,
bringing together the sound purity and flat response
of the IV at an eminently affordable price. It is truly
second only to one other cartridge in the world-the
V15 Type IV.

V15 TYPE III -HE

Stereo Dynetic° Phono Cartridge

If you
already own a
V15 Type III
you can upgrade it!
If you are one of the thousands of
audiophiles who already own a V15 Type
III, you too can benefit from the new
freedom from distortion afforded by the
Hyperelliptical stylus. Simply replace your
present stylus with the new. VN35HE
improvement stylus. It will give your Type
III cartridge the same specifications as
the new V15 Type III -HE. The cost is
extraordinarily low, yet the difference in
sound will be immediately apparent. Takes
only seconds to install (see illustration),
requires no tools whatsoever.

That's the Jensen Separates car stereo
speaker system.
That's the thrill of being there.

First Chair. What better way to describe

the Jensen Separates?
The finest, most accomplished car
speaker system to date. With a revolutionary
design that makes your car seat the best seat
in the house.
car speaker design. Because acoustically, the
intenor of your car is nothing like your
living room.
The Separates include two 6" x 9"
woofers to be mounted in your car's rear deck.
In this manner they utilize the large volume
of the trunk to provide solid, deep bass
response.
Two phenolic ring tweeters mount
high in the front doors to give you precise,
transparent high frequencies. Two 31/2" mid-
ranges beneath the tweeters let you enjoy all
of the subtle -yet -important middle frequencies.
The Jensen Separates even come with
an under -dash control/crossover unit with indi-
vidual controls for each tweeter and each mid-
range. This speaker system is also ideally
suited for the advanced function of bi-
amplification.
The Jensen Separates. The undisputed
master of car stereo sound reproduction.
Artful, ever -faithful music. That's the
thrill of being there. That's the Jensen
Separates.

 Tandberg's exclusive PROM
computer -controlled four -motor
transport that eliminates solenoids
and relays. The unique fourth
motor (behind the left reel)
operates the pinch roller & servo
brakes, achieving a smooth,
noiseless and reliable operation
simply not possible with the
conventional solenoid -activated
systems the fourth motor replaces.

Perfection The ultimate touch to our

"punch -in" record capability.

for the
Professional
Drawing upon their unequalled
30 year leadership in magnetic
recording technology, Tandberg's
TD 20A open reel tape recorder
extends their traditionally superior
level of performance to even further
limits-to even beyond the present
capabilities of today's magnetic
recording tape! This is due to
Tandberg's exclusive ACTILINEAR
Recording System, which not only
provides up to 20 dB headroom
margin over existing tape, but is
specifically designed to be used with
the new high coercivity tapes that will
appear in the market in the near
future-including the soon -to -be -
available metal particle tapes. No
other quality open reel tape recorder
can make this obsolescent -proof
claim today.
The ACTILINEAR Recording
System's extremely linear frequency
response ("ruler flat" according to
some test reviewers) not only makes
the TD 20A essentially immune to
slew -rate limiting and transient
intermodulation distortion (TIM), but
also means better transient
response and lower distortion
overall.
Adding to the TD 20As superior
level of quality & performance is its
unique PROM computer -controlled
four -motor transport, as well as its
many standard operating features
that permit a degree of performance
and control flexibility that you would
expect only from Tandberg-the
world leader in tape recorders.
Visit your authorized Tandberg
dealer for a demonstration of the
TD 20A. Check our guaranteed
minimum specifications and rate
them against any other man-
ufacturer. Combined with the Still more features: Four line input

68 AUDIO October 1979

 What would you do if you saw
an orchestra drowning?
Twelve years ago, musicians all over the world were
drowning in tape noise. We jumped in and began saving
everyone we could, with our professional Dolby noise
reduction system. Today, virtually every recording
company in the world uses the Dolby system to make
quieter master tapes.

Then we made a simpler Dolby system to save orchestras

from drowning at home-first on cassettes, now on FM.
Just about every manufacturer incorporates our music -
saving circuitry in his tape recorders, while there are now
more than 80 Dolby equipped FM products. Most
recorded cassettes are Dolbyized, as are open -reel tapes.
More than 100 stations broadcast Dolby FM.

Now, Dolby is going to the movies. We not only saved

R2D2'©' from drowning -we brought him to you in stereo.
Our professional noise reduction system is being put
to a new use, as the basis of Dolby Stereo-a practical,
economical system for wide -range stereo sound
in neighborhood theatres (not just
first -run houses).

In fact, we're making just

about everything sound
better. At Dolby Laboratories,
we think ... so that others
can swim. .,

AUDIO October 1979 85

 All nine new Dual
turntables feature ULM ...
the Ultra Low Mass tonearm
and cartridge system with
8 grams total effective mass.
All it takes to appreciate the significance of Dual's
new Ultra Low Mass system is a clear understanding of
what happens when the stylus tracks warped records.
As the record warp rises and falls, the stylus should be
able to follow it with a minimum of resistance from the
tonearm. Otherwise, tracking angle and tracking force will
vary widely as the stylus digs in on the way up the warp
and takes off on the way down.
The high inertia of a conventional tonearm and cartridge
combination, with approximately 18 grams total effective
mass, can cause tracking force to vary as much as 30 percent.
And a warp as small as 1.5 mm (barely discernible) can
generate harmonic distortion of 2.7 percent. That's audible.
The new Dual ULM tonearm and cartridge system has only
8 grams total effective mass. Tracking the same warped record
under the same conditions, harmonic distortion is reduced to
only 0.01 percent. That's 270 times less!
Not only is the overall sound audibly improved, but stylus and
record life are significantly extended.
What has made the ULM system possible? First, Dual's
straight-line tubular tonearm with its gyroscopic gimbal suspension
and unique system for setting tracking force without increasing
effective mass. This tonearm can now accept a cartridge weighing as
little as 2 grams. Second, a new generation of cartridges that resulted
from a collaboration between Dual and Ortofon. These ULM cartridges
weigh only 2.5 grams, including mounting bracket and hardware.
Together, the new ULM tonearm and ULM cartridge form a perfectly
matched system, with total effective mass less than half that of
conventional tonearms and cartridges.
To experience the demonstrable advantages of ULM, bring a badly
warped record to your Dual dealer. Listen to it when played with the ULM
tonearm and cartridge system. You will hear the difference that ULM can
make on all your records. Then you need only decide which of the nine new
Dual turntables best meets your requirements for convenience and
refinements.
Prices begin at less than $180 for the multiple play model 1257. The top model,
the automatic single -play 731Q with quartz PLL direct drive, is less than $560.
ULM cartridges are optional.

 Onkyo's lbtal Solution
to Speaker Phase Problems
Model F-5000 Phase Aligned
Array Speaker System
Conventional System S-aggered DriverNcice Coil Alignmen: Arrangement By now, most audiophiles understand
the importance of phase accuracy.
During a live performance all the notes
-or frequencies-produced by the
5
musicians have specific phase (time)
1 relationships to each other. And the
1 many overtones-harmonics-within
each note also have specific orders in
time and strength. If these subtle
musical phase relationships are
confused or lost, so is true fidelity.
ONKYO F-5000 Phase Aligned Array"' System Loudspeakers, because they operate
simultaneously in the separate worlds
ONKYO of electronics, mechanics and acous-
DDMTm tics, have the worst problem with phase
TWEETER accuracy. And the most difficult to
ONKYO cc correct. In the attempt to correct for
PLANAR phase aberrations, speaker manufac-
MID (). turers have produced an odd assort-
RANGE ment of peculiarly shaped enclosures
and driver configurations. But these
FRAM/ half -measures create as many prob-
ONKYO lems as they solve.
PLANAR Only Onkyo provides a total solution
WOOFER to the phase problem. The Onkyo
Model F-5000 Phase Aligned ArraylM
FRAME is a three-way system whose individual
drivers are inherently phase accurate
because of their radically different-
anc technologically superior-construc-
tior.
The three planar (flat -diaphragm)
drivers in the Model F-5000 were de-
veloped through laser interferometry
anc computer analysis of the phase -
randomizing break-up modes in conven-
tioral driver cones. Onkyo's solutions
for the F-5000 are embodied in the dia-
phragms of the 12" bass and 4"
mic range drivers. They consist of
essentially flat annularly ribbed
polwurethene/felted paper patented
laminations that are inert, stiff, and
yet have exceptionally low mass
The critical high -frequency
reproducer (DDM - Direct Drive
MerbraneTM) in the F-5000 employs
an extremely thin and light polyamide
meiibrane. The result is electrostatic -
like clarity, definition and center
imEgery, without the typical electro-
sta-ic drive problems.
The computer -developed crossover
netivork, designed for the required
phase characteristics, employs only air -
core inductors and Mylar° capacitors.
Onkyo's efforts and quality construc-
tior have resulted in smooth, wide
frequency response, flat amplitude
anc precise linearity. Thus, the sound
waves that come out of the system are
alrr ost mirror images of the sound
waves that go into them.
-he overall effect is one of clarity
and transparency delivered from a unit
tha: looks as good as it sounds.

The High Definition® Approach Mow

In photography, it is the razor-sharp resolution and faithful
adherence to hues, tones, and shadings of the subject. In
music, it is the strict re-creation of musical trarsients and subtle
tonal structures which give the listener the sensation of "listening
through" a music system to the "live" performance. At Audio Research
this is our ONLY business - providing the highest definition in music
reproduction.
D -52B High Definition® Power Amplifier
Our smallest wattage amplifier - but of the very highest sound quality for
music systems where its power is adequate. Recommer ded especially for D -52B
multiway speakers with bi-amplification as well as for the many small high
quality speaker systems available.
Rated 50 watts RMS per channel
(180 watts mono mode - 8 ohms)
Near "Class A" performance

The Quality Approach s's

Audio Research products are built FOR perfectionists, BY

perfectionists. Basic to the nature of a perfectionist is a love
for quality, whether it be in fine automobiles, cameras, or music
systems. Simple appreciation of a quality built product can be very
satisfying. The extra measure of enjoyment in ownership of an Audio
Research product comes from the knowledge that you own a component
that not only represents the "state-of-the-art" in music reproduction, but
also the "state-of-the-art" in construction quality.

The Musical Approach

High Definitionp music reproduction is accomplished by a
design approach that considers, first and fo-emost, the com-
plex. constantly changing phenomena of musical waveforms. The
musical approach requires designs which go beycnd good "static"
specifications to perform in actual use - music reproduction. Audio
Research products have good "static" specifications which exceed the
specifications of many competitive products. However, it is the musical
approach in Audio Research products that sets them apart. The musical
approach gives Audio Research products a hard-to-defir e, elusive, musi-
cal quality which is difficult to measure but easy to hea-.

The Common Approach

All Audio Research comporents share a number of things in
common.
For example, all have heavy gauce two color anodized aluminum
front panels for lasting durability and beauty. Most small parts
(capacitors, resistors, transistors, etc.) are selected from quality Ameri-
can vendors for availability and reliability - and of course, all are used at
conservative levels to assure long life.

A "Last Generation" Product

This special product, a vacuum tube power
amplifier, represents the state-of-the-art of this
technology. It is expensive and will be available only in
limited quantity for a reasonable period of time.
The D79 was conceived in response to demand from and
for audio perfectionists. While it is not necessarily the "Jlti-
mate" amplifier, and will not provide its intrinsic performance
with all speaker systems, it will provide a new standard of what
we at Audio Research Corporation call High Definition® repro-
duction of music within its power capability throughout much of
the audio range when used with suitable speaker systems.

The D79 Amplifier

Rated 75 watts RMS per channel - 4, 8 or 16 ohms
550 joule energy storage power supply

How to Make the Best Speaker Systems Even Better 1=0,,

Many of the current state-of-the-art speakers selectable crossover frequencies with 18 dB/Octave (Butter-
have provision for using mcre than one amplifier. worth) slopes for the bass channel's two lowest frequencies
By dividing the audio spectrum in two or more sections, (upper bass and all treble slopes are 6 dB/Octave) with semi -
various combinations of improved speaker/amplifier per- precision level adjustment and other features for making this
formance become possible. For example: product E. most useful tool for audiophiles and music lovers.
(1) A large amplifier can be used for bass response, together
with a smaller high quality amplifier 'or the treble. Available November 1979.
(2) Amplifiers of different gain/power specifications can be
used together.
(3) Speakers of different efficiencies can be used together.
(4) Higher SPL's can be achieved.
(5) Lower system distortion can be passible from both the EC -22

The Simple Approach

In Audio, perhaps more so than in any other electronic
discipline, the concept of "simpler is better" proves true.
The SP -5, although elegant, is such a product. By eliminating
all but essential features, a basic stereo control of the highest
quality becomes available at a modest cost.

The SP -5 High Definition® Stereo Control Preamplifier

Frequency Response: -3 dB, 5 Hz and 10DkHz
Distortion: Less than .005% THD or IMD
Segmented controls, 2 dB steps

Listen Through the Music System

It is very easy, these days, to talk of sophisticated signal
processing equipment that purports to do this or that, but the
real measure of audio equipment is not what it does, but what it
does not do. Simply to amplify, without adding to, or taking from the
musical signal is very difficult, and this is always achieved only in
measure. Interestingly enough, you cannot learn that measure of perform-
ance from the "specifications" because they relate only to static test
conditions, and so we invite you to listen to,
The SP -6A High Definition® Preamplifier/Stereo Control 77_°,3111.410410
Some of the specifications: SP -6A

Response -3 dB @ .05 Hz and 250kHz (high Z)

Output: 60 V RMS (Hi Z) at less than 1/2°/0 THD at 1 kHz
Maximum Input Magnetic Phono without overload: 1 kl-z - 500 mV RMS audio research

The Specialized Approach Products to Meet a Need

The very best phonograph pickup cartridges include several
technologies. One of these is the "moving coil" cartridge.
These cartridges tend to have very small signal output because of
the requirement for low moving mass. Most music systems will
require a special "step-up" system tc obtain the benefits of these
cartridges, and for these we offer
The MCP -2 and the MCP -22 High Definition® Moving Coil
Phono Cartridge Pre -Preamplifiers
Features include adjustable gain, adjustab e input impedance, selectable
inputs and outputs, a muting switch and vanishingly low distortion.
These products will become available in early to mid 1980. MCP -2 (Shown)

Simple Makes Perfect

The PPA-1 pre -preamplifier is a simple battery -operated step-up device
for moving -coil corteges The simple Class A circuit has no TIM, no
SID, zero feedback, and is hand -matched to 1% tolerances in a simple
dual mono design The styling is simple elegance with 16 ga steel wrapped
in heavy aluminum. And the sound simply amazing. If you haven I
heard the PPA-1, you haven't heard your moving -coil it's as simple
as that.

Nobody's perfect. But Technics quartz -locked, direct -
drive Q -Series: the Q-2 semi -automatic and Q-3 fully
automatic come incredibly close.
So dose that many discos and FM stations choose
Technics
Technics quartz -locked, direct -drive turntables over any
other. I .'s no wonder, with speed accuracy of 0.002%, wow
and flutter of only C.025% WRMS and rumble of -78dB
(DIN B .They're impressive specs.
What's just as impressive is Technics soft -touch In -line
control; conveniently mounted on the front panel. You can
operate every electronic function without ever lifting the
dust cower.
Or Technics statically balanced S-shaped tonearm.
With 01 ly 7 mg friction on both the vertical and horizontal
planes, t's more than sensitive, it's sensational. Even the
computer -designed headshell contacts are gold-plated for
maximt m conductivity.
To ne.p protect against acoustic feedback,Technics
Q -Series turntables are all mounted in a precision ahminum
diecast base with a unique ron-resonant compound,TNRC.
It's so &fective it resists feedback at the highest music levels.
By this time you might think you have to be rich to
afford Technics Q-Series.You don't. Both models are
surprisingly reasonable.
Technics Q-Series.We can't say they're perfect.You will.

We can't say the speed accuracy of our

new quartz-locked turntables is 100%.
Just 99.998%.
