most outstanding feature is its resemblance to their TVs. At Akai, we take audio -
for -video a lot more seriously.
Akai's origins are in high fidelity and we never forget it. When we build
audio/video equipment, we produce components that do an audiophile proud.
Consider our AA -V405 Receiver. Instead of a paltry 35 or 40
watts per channel, the AA -V405 produces 100 watts per channel
(continuous, 0.05% THD, 20 Hz -20 kHz into 8 ohms). To add
life even to mono signals, we've designed a special Surround
Sound stereo circuit. To correct the faults of so many video
sound tracks, we've built in a seven -band graphic equalizer.
And a full function remote control lets you operate the entire
system from your listening/viewing position.
The Akai AA -V405 has all the connections you'll need to

difference between the outputs from leading and trailing beams. In the

distortion and improves frequency response, especially the highs, of

You get out of our new Sherwood S -2770R CP digital remote -control receiver what you put into it. Like your
TV audio. Your VCR audio and video. Your compact disc player. Your turntable. Your tape deck. Your everything. All in
stereo. At 74 watts per channel.
The S -2770R CP even has the ability to synthesize
stereo from monaural sources, such as normal

lets you recreate that surround -sound experience right in your own home.
You also get full video dubbing capability through permanent rear panel connections, or through conveniently
located jacks on the front for those occasions you need a second VCR There's more:

memory settings. Auto/manual scan tuning. Loudness and sub -bass EQ. -20dB mute function. An LED

SP9
The SP9 Hybrid Stereo Preamplifier represents a STEREO PREAMPLIFIER
further evolution of the innovative electronic
design first embodied in the widely acclaimed
Audio Research SP11 Stereo Preamplifier. The
SP9 is not a "stripped -down" version of the
SP11, but rather represents an adaptation of
some of the SP11's patented hybrid technology
to a simpler, more economical single -chassis format.
Using just two 6DJ8 vacuum tubes (one in the
ahono section and one in the high-level stage) in
intermediary gain stages, the SP9 expresses the
musicality and natural "rightness" vacuum -tube
preamplifiers have been noted for, yet it
does so with the quickness and dynamic
vigor of the best solid-state designs.

The company that
set the standards for
modern loudspeakers
now raises them.
AR invented the high fideli:y 000lGhelf
loudspeaker with our Acoustic S Jspension
pr nciple in 1954. Since that time, :he
speaker business has been divide( nto two
pr ncipal camps: AR and the conialies
irritating AR.
Today AR introduces the TSW Series.
These Acoustic Suspension specter a -e so
refined in performance, so sophisT sated in
technclogy, they're a virtual texttoDF. of
loudspeaker design.
We've carefully shaped, braced. and
grooved the inside of our cabinet presist
unwanted resonance. We've selected special
carbon -filled polypropylene diapilagms to
lower distortion at low frequencies Our new
61/2 -inch midrange driver reproduces vccals
with precision. And we mount ou- 1 t3nium
dome tweeter on a unique Tetra -lie GI.'" plate
to minimize diffracticn and its ccnsequent
distortion.
As an integral part of the proeft we

hariessed the talents Df one of Amerca's
top industrial designers to create a -.peaicer
that you'll be proud of eves when iit'3 not
playing. In place of the typical 1/125 inch
veneer, these speakers have solid American
Wallut or Oak tops and bcttoms* lealy

Honesty.
It's been a rare virtue in sound.
Introducing the new Design Acoustics
Until no_W PS103 3 -Way Loudspeaker
While other speakers attempt to make their mark with bombast and sizzle, the
Design Acoustics PS103 loudspeaker system has been created to accurately
reflect the actual sonic drama of the music. No more. And certainly no less.
Hear the original acoustic space
The PS -103 starts with smooth, uniform response for every octave of music.
That's basic. Dispersion at the higher frequencies is also enhanced by a
tapered, sealed, independent Point Source enclosure for the 6" mid -range
and 3/4" tweeter. The result of this comb,nation is an appropriate spaciousness
to the reproduced souna ...neither collapsed, nor overextended. With the
PS103, the illusion of a live performance is more accurate, making possible a
more intense reaction to the music.
Bass you can feel
The illusion is enhanced by the extended bass performance from the 10"
down -firing woofer, housed in its own cabinet with unique multi -element
baffles that stiffen the enclosure while smoothing and extending useful sound
output. You both hear and feel the deepest bass, while sensing the original
room acoustics all around you.
Honestly superior
Before you settle for an artificial sounding speaker, give our spectacular
honesty a chance. Audition the Design Acoustcs PS103 loudspeaker system
today. Write for the names of Design Acoustics dealers in your area. Like you,
they are very serious about very good sound.

SMART SINGLES. MODERN MARRIAGE.
If you're like most people who listen to
audio cassettes, you've probably used a tape
head -cleaner and felt pretty good about your
conscientious attitude toward machine mainte-
nance. Unfortunately, most cleaning cassettes
allow contaminants to build up on the capstan/
pinch roller assembly. It's a situation that, if left
uncorrected, can result in your valuable cassettes
being "eaten" when they stick to, and wrap
around, the pinch roller (a problem that's even
more common in car systems). Fortunately,
Discwasher has a simple solution.
Discwasher's Perfect PathTM' Cassette Head
Cleaner uses a non-abrasive tape to remove
oxides from your tape heads. And our C.PR.'
Capstan/Pinch Roller Cleaner uses an advance-
able fabric and scientifically -formulated cleaning
fluid to scrub away stickiness. Used together,
they ensure good sound and "healthy" cassettes.
Now our System IITM approach combines
both technologies in a single cassette, adding
convenience to optimLm tape deck performance.
With regular use, your equipment (and your
cassettes) will have a fighting chance for a long,
happy life together. Isn't that what you'd expect
from Discwasher?

Pure Artistry.
Sansui makes music an art form with finely crafted receivers that deliver crystal clear sound.
Our S -X1200 produces 120 watts* of pure power, with a toroidal transformer
to provide low -impedance driving capability. A transient enhancer adds
dynamic impact to everything you hear.
Other quality features include station scan, continuously variable loudness control,
connections for 2 cassette decks and 2 VCRs with bidirectional dubbing,
and binding posts for heavy speaker cables. A black mirror finish makes this receiver
as pleasing to your eyes as it is to your ears.
You'll find many of the same qualities in three other models: S -X900, S -X700, and S -X500.
So select the Sansui receiver to fit your lifestyle and experience pure artistry in sound.
