Power Plus. The Scott 8336 Receiver.
Power is important.
But power alone is not
enough. That's why the popular
Scott 8336 gives you all the power
you need. Plus the performance features
you expect.
The Scott 8336 provides 42 watts minimum contin-
uous RMS power output per channel. More than enough
for most listeners. And both channels are driven into 8 ohms
from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with no more than 0.3% total harmonic distortion.
Power? Sure. But check these important performance features many other
receivers in this medium price range have sacrificed.

Blueprint for
Flat Frequency Response
In the graph below, frequency response was measured using the CBS I(X)Test Record. which :weeps from 20-20.0(X) Hz. The vertical
tracking force was set at one gram. Nominal system capacitance was calibrated to be 300 piccifaruds and the standard 47K ohm resistance was
maintained throughout testing. The upper curves represent the frequency response of the right (red) and left (green) channels. The distance
between the upper and lower curves represents separation between the charnels in decibels. The inset oscilloscope photo exhibits the
cartridge's response to a recorded 1000 Hz square wave indicating its resonant and transient response.
Smooth, flat response from

20-20,000 Hz is the most
distinct advantage of Empire's
new stereo cartridge,
the 2000Z.
The extreme accuracy of
its reproduction allows you
the luxury of fine-tuning
your audio system
exactly the way you
want it. With the 2000Z,
you can exaggerate highs,
accentuate lows or
leave it flat. You can
make your own
adjustments without
being tied to the dips and
peaks characteristic of most
other cartridges.
For a great many people,
this alone is reason for
owning the Z. However, we
engineered this cartridge to give you more.
And it does. Tight channel balance, wide sepa-
ration, low tracking force and excellent tracking
ability combine to give you total performance.
See for yourself in the specifications below,
then go to your audio dealer for a demonstration you
won't soon forget.

How to mix power
The power of your amplifier is one of the most important elements in the
performance of your high fidelity system. It gives your amplifier sufficient power
to drive your speakers. And you need well engineered power to give you the
instantaneous burst that music may require.
The pleasure of your tuner is fullest when properly matched with its power supply;
when it is sensitive and highly selective, and offers noise- and distortion -free sound.
In short, an instrument attuned to your musical pleasure.
Sansul Amplifiers and Tuners: Our newly expanded complete line of power-
ful amplifiers and beautifully designed tuners are engineered and matched to give
you the full pleasure of power. From the
fabulous AU 20000 with a striking 170
....... waits per chcnnel, min. RMS, both
. channels driven into 4 and
NV*: 7%.
Al -t1000 AU -20000
...with pleasure.
8 ohms, from 20 to 20000 Hz with no more than 0.05% total harmonic distortion
at about $1000* to the AU 3900 with 22 watts per channel, min. RMS, both channels
driven into 8 ohms, from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, with no more than 0.15% total
harmonic distortion at less than S160*, every AU amplifier is loaded with features
designed for creative listening. The fully matched TU tuners from less than $160*
to about $450* all feature appropriately low distortion, fine sensitivity
and high selectivity. For example, the TU 3900: sensitivity, 11.2 dBf (2.0 µV);
selectivity better than 60 dB (at 400 kHz). TU 9900: sensitivity, 8.8 dBf
(1.5 µV); selectivity from 20 dB at 200 kHz to 90 dB at 400 kHz. The TU 9900
offers a choice of wide and narrow bandwidths for selection of individual stations
even in crowded areas.
Your nearest franchised Sansui dealer will be happy to demonstrate any in

this fine series to you. Your powerful pleasure awaits.

Every Dual turntable, from the 225 to the new cs72-, is designed with one
concept: to provide more precisior then you are ever likely tc need. How well
groove moculations are converted into music is significantly influenced by each
aspect of tonearm design geometry, oalance, mass, resonance, bearing fric-
tion and the application cf stylus pressure and an-i-skating. The life of ones
records is also determines.
All these considerations have beer thoroughly fulfilled in every Dual. Thus,
if basic excellence in record

oes more to
to enjoy Dual optmimize tdracking than
precuslon
any other tonearm ever made, rothing less than the top -of -the -line CS721 or
CS704 will satisfy you.
All component parts of every Dual turntable are built to the highest stand-
ards of precision For example, the rotor of every motor is dynam sally balanced
in every plane o- motion. Uniformity 3 checked -o within four millionths of an
inch; lust cne of the reasons for the virtual absence of vibration, the primary
source of rumble.
Dual turntables are rugged. They need not be babied-by you or anyone
else in your family. Chances are that your Dual-any Dual- will outlast all your
other components, so you should corefully consider which Dual you wait.
There are eight Dual models; some semi -automatic, some fully automatic,
some with the option of multiple play. However, theres no need to decide on
a specific Dual model right now_ You can do that best at your United Audio
dealer where he can dernonstratE all -he differences that Dud I precision makes.

The chances are good that when you first bought a stereo
system, it was a "package" that included a receiver, 2 speakers,
and a record player with cartridge. But how much time was spent
Grado diamond stylus $150.00 selecting the cartridge? Most probably it was just a minor
element of the package. Even if it had a famous name, it
probably was not a truly first -rank model.

Yet the cartridge is more important than that. It can limit the

favorite records without noise and distortion. And it can
determine whether you can play and enjoy the new four -channel

Consider the advantages of adding an Audio-Technica ATI5Sa
to your present system. You start with response from 5 to
45,000 Hz. Ruler flat in the audio range for stereo, with
extended response that assures excellent CD -4 playback if
desired. Tracking is superb at all frequencies and distortion is
extremely low. The sound is balanced, transparent, effortless.

This is no way to nail down
a hi-fi bargain.
Some stores think that one of their cost -cutters in assembling a "bargain"
stereo system is to install a run-of-the-mill, inexpensive cartridge. After all,
who's going to notice a tiny cartridge when it's surrounded by powerful
speakers and a dynamite turntable? Unfortunately, some shoppers are reluc-
tant to insist on a better cartridge when buying one of these package spe-
cials. But you are made of sterner stuff! And if you insist on a Shure cartridge.
"better" doesn't have to mean more expensive. Time and time again, con-
sumer magazines have rated Shure cartridges the best in their price category.
As the source of sound for the entire system, that tiny Shure cartridge and
its critical stylus determine what you'll ultimately hear. And as bargains go,
that s the best tip you'll hear today-or any day!

We make only one cassette deck. We certainly
are capable of making more. Perhaps some
day we will. But it's unlikely -unless there are
compelling mechanical or sonic reasons for
doing so.
You're We have an attitude about high fidelity in-

struments: to give the finest expression to
looking
every function of music reproduction. And
wherever we feel we have something to con-
tribute, to do so without compromise. The
at our HK2000 (with Dolby*, of course), represents

our attitude about cassette decks.
Its predecessor (the HK1000), was evalu-
attitude ated by High Fidelity Magazine as, "the best

so far." When our engineering explorations
about suggested that improvements were feasible.

we replaced it. With the HK2000.
We consider that the cassette deck has a
cassette definite and honorable utility as a means of

conveniently capturing, retaining and repro-
ducing material from phonograph records,
decks. tapes or radio broadcasts.
With one major caveat. It must perform on
a level equivalent to the source.
The The HK2000's specifications offer measur-
able evidence of its quality. For example: wow
HK2000. and flutter levels of 0.07%.

But performance specifications are only
one influence on sound quality. Just as in
all Harman Kardon amplifiers and receivers,
the wide -band design characteristic of the
HK2000 produces sound quality that tran-
scends its impressive specifications.
It utilizes narrow gap, hard -faced, permalloy
metal heads (the only heads used in profes-
sional studio tape machines) for extended
frequency response and low distortion. Low
frequency response is so linear, that the
HK2000 required the incorporation of a sub-
sonic filter control that can be used to remove
sicnals issued by warped discs.
These few factors, not individually decisive
in themselves, indicate the attitude with which
we conceived, designed and built the HK2000
the only cassette deck we make.
There is, of course, a good deal more to
say. Please write directly to us. We'll respond

The A 1100.
"It should start designers at other
companies rethinking many of the truisms
of their craft."
We went to a front -loading design for the A-400 not to make it pretty,
but to make it more functional. High Fidelity Magazine called it "...the most
thoroughly satisfactory front -loading well design we have yet tested:
practical, easy to use, unencumbered by 'extra' mechanisms that are
potential troublemakers." *
Proven reliability. And typically TEAC performance. Whether you want
the twang of a country guitar or the smoothness of a slap bass, the mellow
sound of a ballad or the thrilling power of an opera, audition the A-400.
You'll agree with the critics. It is something to think about.

national advertising for all our products), and Its useful frequency range is as wide as any
speaker's, and its bass response is approached
by very few.
Its sound is exceptionally clear, detailed,
and accurate.
It has a carefully chosen octave -to -octave
musical balance that's satisfying not just with
the best recordings or one kind of musical
material, but with the whole range of music
and the many ways of recording it.
It sounds consistently the same from
speaker to speaker off the production line.
We realize it may be hard to believe that a
speaker that costs only $121 to 149 (depend-
ing on cabinet finish and how far we've shipped
it across the country) is as good a speaker in
every respect as you're ever likely to want.
But we believe that it is. And we have hun-
dreds of letters (both about it and its brother,
the Smaller Advent) from satisfied customers
who consistently say it does at least everything
we represent it to do.
Close listening* to the Advent Loudspeaker
(preferably on a good variety of material, so
you can verify that its sound on one kind of
music or recording isn't at the expense of
another) will tell you why so many people buy
it and go out of their way to tell us how happy
they are with it.

some straight talk
about loudspeaker accuracy
from the people who invented it
Of over 100 speaker brands advertised on the market, all claiming supremacy
for their product based on the land of sound they produce, one leading company stands
apart. It is Acoustic Research. We design, build and test our products to accurately repro-
duce all the sound information contained on your I.L.urcls, tapes and radio broaduu,
but no more. What you want from a loudspeaker is a precise recreation of what the record-
ing engineer placed on your disc- or tape, be it good, bad or mediocre. Only AR loud-
speakers curl guarantee you this kind of accuracy.
The most important contributors to AR loudspeaker accuracy are an original
design with inherently flat frequency response (the ability to reproduce faithfully the
complete range of musical sounds, including harmonics, without emphasizing or sub-
duing any of them) and a rigorous testing program to insure that this ideal specification
is fully realized in every product shipped. The flatness of AR response curves is an
accepted fact. Perhaps not so well known is our insistence that every individual AR
driver, and every completed system, perform to within ± 1 dB of this response curve
before it may be shipped to your dealer.
We'd like you to know much more about accuracy in sound reproduction and
have prepared a 36 -page brochure on loudspeaker design and selection which will help
you to make the most informed choice among the many options offered in the market-
place. For $1.11) we'll send you a copy by first class mail. Or you may obtain your copy
free by visiting your AR dealer. While you're there ask for an A -B demon -
u *on of AR speakers using music with which you're familiar, against
any other speakers in his showroom. We think you'll find our accurate
sound the one you want to live with. For a list of AR dealers serving your

ranked number 78. Fortunately we have very little chance of ever becoming number one. Vie say fortunately because we believe in
the reasons why we probably won't even make the top ten. First of all, we hand build all our woofers and tweeters. one at a time.
carefully testing each and every one to insure that every speaker that leaves our factory is as accurate as our laboratory standard.
You won't find any conveyor belts either, since our final assembly workers hardle each speaker caoinet one at a time, as a team, and
they take pride in the results of their work. Without mass production we'll never get to be number one in quantity, but we have the
satisfaction of knowing the lack of it makes us number one in quality.
The second reason is our exclusive dealer network. Less than 200 of America's 4000 outlets for stereo equipment display and
demonstrate our loudspeakers. That's because only those dealers that carry quality equipment, and are willing to take the time to
meet the needs of every customer, qualify as Genesis dealers. That way we can be sure that everyone of our customers will realize
the full benefit of their hi fi investment, because each component will have been picked for its quality and represent the best value in
its price range.
So if you're lucky enough to shop at a dealership that represents Genesis and purchase our speakers, you'll be a member of a very
select, but very satisfied group of people, people who are quite content to stick with number seventy eight.

Who's behind the remarkable
DQ-10 speaker?
Some of the most remarkable men
in audio-Jon G. Dahlquist and Saul
B. Marantz, the founders of this
company.
There's hardly an audiophile
anywhere who doesn't know about
Saul Marantz, one of the pioneers in
the growth of this industry and a
leading proponent of high quality
performance.
Then there's our brilliant
engineering head, Jon Dahlquist. His
contribution in the Lunar Excursion
Module project involved vibration and
stress analysis. This eventually led him
to more earthly projects such as
loudspeaker wave -form behavior. His
research was applied to the unique
acoustical concepts that are
incorporated in the DQ-10, Phased
Array" speaker system.
For the first time a single speaker
system accurately controls time delay,
phase shift, and diffraction effects.
This advanced speaker design has
caused quite a stir in the audio
industry. Critical listeners and
knowledgeable reviewers throughout
the world have praised the DQ-10 for
its superb definition, its 3 dimensional
spaciousness, the ultra smooth
coherency over the entire range, and
its correct stereo imaging.
It doesn't take long to discover
these qualities for yourself. Just take
your most challenging record down to
your nearest Dahlquist dealer and put
yourself in front of a speaker that some
remarkable men are behind.

THE
SPECTRUMTm Responsive. Sensitive. Bold when they should be.
Ph SERIES
Subtle when they should be. For a living room
rock concert...or a tranquil laid-back evening
spent with your moods. Eyes closed, ears open.
Feet tapping or feet up.
The new Jensen Spectrum Series has achieved a new plane of sound reproduction. Remarkable
clarity. Admirable quality. And fullness of sound from the deepest lows to the top -of -the -scale highs.
Beautifully finished natural hardwood walnut veneer cabinets accommodate a family of advanced
sound systems and features. Foam woofer suspension for clearer. more accurate bass response. Power-
ful ceramic magnet; for lower distortion, high power handling, greater clarity. And a precise crossover
design that sends sharply defined high and low signals to sensitive tweeters and powerful woofers.
On some models, the Spectrum Series features true-to-life midrange drivers for the subtle in-between
frequencies. And specially designed dome tweeters for extra -wide 170° dispersion of brilliant highs.
Behind the grill of each Spectrum speaker system-a continuously adjustable personalizing control
(two on the Models 530, 540 and 550) graduated in decibels. It lets you adjust your Spectrum speaker
to the room... to personal tastes...to the nuances of a guitar or a violin.
The Jensen Spectrum Series speakers. Models 520, 530, 540 End 550. JENs--,
Perhaps the clearest sound reproduction you have ever encountered.

Klipsch Quality When
You Don't Have Room
For Klipschorns
Has the widest range with least distortion of any speaker

its size. The tweeter and mid -range, as on the KLIPSCHORN, are
horn loaded. The woofer, a low compliance direct radiator
mounted in a total enclosure, puts out far more bass than you'd
expect. And everything you hear is clean honest sound. None
of the distortion inherent in acoustic suspension systems. The
HERESY is the nearest thing to a KLIPSCHORN you'll find in a
small speaker. This coupon will bring you the name of your

Decks used for tests: Magazine A -Pioneer CT -F9191 (cross-checked on DUAL 901, TEAC 45C); Magazine B-NAKAMICHI 1000.
Two leading hi-fi magazines working independently tested a wide

variety of cassettes. In both tests, TDK SA clearly outperformed the other
premium priced cassettes.
The statistics speak for themselves. TDK SA provides a greater S N
ratio (66.5 dB weighted and 66.0 dB @ 3% THD) , greater output sensitivity
( +4.2 dB @ 3% THD) , and less distortion (THD 0.9%) than these tapes.
When you convert these statistics into sound, TDK SA allows you to
play back more of the original signal with less distortion and noise.
Put these facts and figures together and TDK SA adds up to the State
of the Art because it provides greater dynamic range. This means cleaner,
clearer, crisper recordings, plain and simple.
Sound for sound, there isn't a cassette that can
match its vital statistics.
