• Harmon-Kardon "Citation" Amplifier Kits. This new series of stereophonic instruments is of deluxe quality in every respect. Developed in line with the psycho-acoustical fact that the characteristics of an amplifier in the non-audible range strongly influence the duality of sound in the audible frequency range, the assembled Citation amplifier reproduces frequencies as low as 5.0 cps without phase shift, and is also able to deliver 100,000 cps without any type of instability.

In the Citation II 120-watt (dual 60) basic amplifier, a multiple loop approach is used to increase the degree of feedback as the most logical method for lowering distortion without sacrificing stability.

A unique silicon-rectifier voltage-doubler power supply assures stability necessary to support low-frequency response which cuts off below 2.0cps. The Citation I preamplifier control center incorporates engineering techniques previously available only in professional equipment. Step-type tone controls are used. To facilitate home assembly, resistors and capacitors are filed individually on a special component card where they can be easily identified, and are mounted on a military-type phenolic terminal board when the unit is assembled. They are, therefore, rigidly located in the ideal position. A special template furnished with the Citation Kit enables the assembler to construct a professional-type cable harness, thus assuring proper lead dress and length for important wiring. The Citation kits, which can be assembled by an amateur with no previous experience, provide unique performance at a level available only in manufactured amplifiers which are far higher in price. For complete description and full technical specifications, write Harman-Kardon, Inc., 520 Main St., Westbury, N.Y.

• Eico FM/AM Tuner Kit. Available in both kit and wired form, the new and economical EICO Model HFT92 combines on a single chassis the well-known HFT90 FM tuner with excellent AM tuning facilities. The unit provides monophonic FM and AM reception and facility for FM-multiplex stereo reception. It is not a stereo FM/AM tuner since both types of reception cannot be obtained at the same time. The FM section includes an entirely pre-wired, pre-aligned "front end," housed and shielded in a solid aluminum-zinc casting. It is characterized by remarkable sensitivity (1.5 microvolts for 20db quieting), complete stability, low-noise, and drift-free performance. No a.f.c. is used in the HFT92 because none is needed. All i.f. coils in both the FM and AM sections are supplied pre-aligned, eliminating any need for alignment instruments in building this tuner from the kit. Precision "Eye-Tronic" tuning is achieved for both the FM and AM sections with the pre-wired DM-70 traveling-eye indicator. The HFT92 also incorporates a stage of audio amplification and a cathode-follower output with low distortion and low impedance. A full-wave rectifier and heavy filtering provide a stable, dependable power supply.

FM operation is drift-free, and the FM section incorporates full automatic frequency control which may easily be switched in or out from the front panel. AM circuitry includes broad and sharp bandwidth positions. Engineering features include accurate visual tuning indicators, simple controls, and flywheel tuning mechanisms. The tuner also contains provisions for adaptation to FM/FM multiplex stereo reception. FM frequency response is 20 to 20,000 cps; AM response is 20 to 8500 cps. Total harmonic distortion is less than 0.5 per cent. Available uncased for built-ins, or with handsome hardwood cabinet for open or shelf mounting. Ampex Audio, Inc., 1020 Kifer Road, Sunnyvale, Calif.

• Pyramid-Point Stylus. Certain to create controversy among record and stylus manufacturers is the new "Pyramid-Point" diamond stylus recently introduced by "Fidelitone", Inc., Chicago, Ill. Said by company officials to reduce sound distortion from records by as much as 85 per cent, the stylus tip has a pyramid shape with four sides instead of the conventional cone shape with a round point.

• Anmerkung : Sie lesen richtig, die Sound-Verzerrungen werden um "as much as" 85% reduziert, welche Verzerungen in welchen Frequenzbereich und wo auf der Platte vorne oder am Ende, bei Mono-Platten oder den neuen Stereoplatten, bleib nebulös geheim.

The new design was conceived around a shape like the cutting stylus used in making the sound impressions on all records. Other comments by Fidelitone engineers indicate that "phonograph needles shaped with hemispherical (runden) ball points cannot possibly fit into some of the wave shapes found on records." "A ball point stylus tends to ride up in the groove at the narrow points which are created by the triangular shape of the cutting stylus. This is what is known as the 'pinch effect'. The Pyramid Point greatly reduces pinch effect because it is designed to fit all gyrations and surfaces." The illustration, drawn and supplied by Fidelitone for this item, shows graphically the purported difference in the two types of styli as they rest in a record groove.
