Pioneer CS-77A Speakers

 Pioneer CS-77A Vintage Speakers 1971 All Information:

The Pioneer CS-77A is a bookshelf type system, perfect for compact quarters, that handles a full 65 watts of music input but can be used with a relatively small power amplifier.

The enclosure is made of genuine walnut, hand finished, and a pleated saran grille cloth and grille gives the distinctive look of fine furniture.

The woofer and the midranges have high quality cambric surrounds, so they

won't rot or deteriorate the way foam surrounds do.

These speakers employ Pioneer's "FB" pulp material in the woofer and

 midrange drivers. These pressed cones are made of specialized pulp material 

that is stiffer and has better damping than standard paper cones. The result is

 audibly different with solid and deep base that sounds natural and not

 boomy. 

Midrange presence is outstanding with the characteristics of the "FB" cone 

material.

Technics ST-G7 AM/FM Stereo Tuner

The Technics ST-G7 was Technics best tuner of the 1980's (and beyond) and possibly the best Technics tuner ever. Selling for approximately Ј375 GBP in 1984, it was a high-end design costing around 3 times the price of an "ordinary" Technics tuner of the period.

It was a tece soundwise is that there is occasionally a touch of sibilance on vocalshnical tour de force upon launch and Technics engineers really pushed the boat out with this one. The claimed technical specification is superb and so is the subjective performance. I have one of these in my own personal collection and it has just about the lowest noise and least interference of any tuner I have used. Sound quailty is ruthlessly neutral. This is not a tuner that will flatter poor quality compresssed pop music broadcasts but give it a good signal from BBC Radio 2, 3, 4 or Classic FM and it can sound superb. Particularly notable is the extended, powerful bass (when present in source material). It sounds remarkably clean and clear throughout the frequency range. The only criticism I can make soundwise is that there is occasionally a touch of sibilance on vocals

Luxman M-02 C-02

The Status Series M-02 and C-02 didn't begin their lives as such : they were planned as C-400 and M-400, taking over the C-300 / M-300combo, with the styling of the L-550 for the C-400.

Both prototypes were presented at the march 1983 french Hi-Fi Fair but were revised quickly thereafter to become the M-02 and C-02, smaller siblings of the already available C-05and M-05.

Unlike the C-400 which changed a lot when becoming a C-02, the M-400 didn't change much to become the M-02 - see the Invisibilia section of TVK for the one (and only ?) image of it.

The M-02 however saw an intermediary version which landed in the catalogs as late as 1987 (!) but which wasn't produced : same design but large finish differences, better specifications and a tad more power in BTL mode, too - see Knobber images #5 and #6.


The M-02 was export-only but technically directly reminiscent of the ealier M-120A : onlynot bigger and with good old needle meters instead of flashy red LEDs.

The circuit is basically the same : Duo-ßeta,Duo-Alpha, plus-X power-supply and two Heat-Pipes.
One crucial ingredient however changed : the450VA transformer is of the round core type :R-Core - quite uncommon in 1983.

Caps were upped to 2x 15,000µF and the structure was reorganized to visibly be dual-mono, the transformer and heat-pipes in symmetry near the front plate, drivers and output stages near the back plate.

Output can rise up to 300W in mono mode (Duo-Alpha) but with only one speaker terminal for both modes instead of the two of the M-120A - still plenty enough to go deaf rapidly.
But beautifully.

The planned high-end status of the original "400" combo was well kept in the M-02 : it sold very well and owners keep them.

Technics SE A5 Stereo Power Amplifier

Technics SE A5 Stereo Power Amplifier

1979

With the stereo power amplifiers Technics SE-A1/A3/A5 Technics offered in 1979 a completely new concept in the development of DC-circuit technique for power amplifiers.

The 19kg heavy " NewClassA " power amplifier provides 160 watts per channel and sounds amazing . The uncompromising clear design with front-filling power display instruments behind thick real glass fitted into a solid aluminum panel was successfully and copied by many manufacturers more or less.

16 Axial bulbs were installed in order to obtain a homogeneous illumination of the giant VU meter front. I have replaced the bulbs completely.

Technics has this model series from 1981 almost reissued in 12 months rhythm with cosmetically adjusted to every trend.

Today, after 35 years of Technics / Panasonic is still using this design for certain audio product lines.
