Our English Synopsis
1. Audio Culture
(Editorial notes)
Wonderings about the spiritual kinships of an audio newspaper and its
editors: engineers? sales people? reviewers? possibly even instrument
makers! The crux of our work: helping to perfect the instruments which
are capable to reproduce the sound of not only one instrument but an
entire symphonic ensemble with its totality within the bounds of
living rooms.
2. Soundservice
Space for those desiring to inquire, needing advice, wishing to
comment or argue or even to advertize.
3. The result of our poll
4. Music Within Our Ears
Following our articles on the acoustics of instruments and concert
halls we are attempting to treat the most mystical element of this
science: psychoacoustics. We will have several chapters on the subject
without even to trying to complete it. We are most interested in the
method i. e.: could tenets of classical acoustics directly apply to
High Fidelity - and if yes why not?
5. Recording sheet
Reviews, criticism.
6. Questions By The Dozen
to Tibor Erkel the new musical director of the Hungarian Radio. His
plans, his views on music and its programming. Our conversation is
particularly interesting in light of the recently introduced second
stereo broadcast of the Hungarian Radio (it's very promising for our
audiophiles).
7. The Land of Promise
Seing no real Hi-Fi Collection in the shops, the Hungarian
audiophile places all his trust in the manufacturer's annual promises
due the Budapest International Fair.
8. István, the King (About a new hungarian musical)
9. What's A Tape Deck For?
We will treat anything in this article that can be done with a deck or
home studio: recording, copying, dubbing, diaporama.
10. The Yellow Brick Road
(Press digest)
HiFi Stereophonie, Hi-Fi News & Record Review, Hi-Fi Answers, Audio.
11. The Golden Turkey Awards
Foundation of the Hi-Fi News & Record Review for the most awkward
equipments ever made
12. Analog Counter Digital
In our recent issue we introduced the Pioneer CD-player in Hifi
Magazin and its color poster. The great sensation of our present
issue-a real sensation by domestic standards-the digital tape deck by
Technics, the SV-P1OO. Adding special spice to the story in fact we
managed to lay our hands on the best analog deck of Technics as well
(RS-1700) . This way we could compare the two sets.
13. Journey Around The Record Player
The article deals with the so called secondary parameters and their
subjective effects: lateral and vertical tracking error, mats,
differences within the same type of cartridges and the quality of
various combinations of the same main parts. Our most important info
is a series of test which proves and credibly so, that the effect of
the lateral tracking error is virtually inaudible for the human ear -
at least via our Hi-Fi of good but not High End quality.
14. Presenting
Three rather old Hungarian speakers (BEAG HOX 22, 41, 51) and three
rather new electronics from the West: TX-540L tuner, SX-202L receiver
and SA-540 amplifier, all from the house of Pioneer.
