"The speakers should
produce a sensation of depth
and dimension. The bass
should be tight and well
defined. Horns, etc., should
not sound overly bright or
sharp," he said.
Once you have decided on
a pair of speakers, then you

of the system. There are a lot
of decisions to be made.
These decisions usually are
surrounded by a host of
technical terms. Turntables
can be bought as manual,
I semi-automatic, or tuny
automatic. .You'll also hear
the terms, magnetic and
ceramic cartridges used.
A manual turntable
requires you to lift the
tonearm and place it on the
record. Once the record is
finished, you must lift the
tonearm off thtn return it to
its resting positing.
WITH A SEMIAUTOMATIC
turntable, the
tonearm ejects itself. You
must still place it manually
H on the record, but once the
I record is finished, the
tonearm returns itself.
Fully automatic turntables
do not require any
manual operation. The
tonearm is activated by a
switch which allows

record.
Ceramic cartridges are
generally confined to the
cheaper stereo components.
Magnetic cartridges are
found with the more expensive
units. You will also
encounter the terms, belt
drive and direct drive when
shopping for a turntable.
Belt drive operation indicates
the platter being
turned by a belt connected to
the motor. The platter is
where the record is placed
on the turntable.
IN DIRECT DRIVE
turntables, the platter is
being turned directly by the
motor. There are advantages
and disadvantages
to be found with both types.
Belt drive reduces motor
noise, but belts can be
subject to wear over a period
of time. Direct drive may
produce motor noise, bul
platter speed is reached
more efficiently.
