HiFi Magazin 21. 1986/2.


    

    Our English Synopsis

 1. Audio Culture

    (Editorial notes)

 2. Soundservice

    Space  for  those  desiring  to  inquire,  needing  advice, whising to
    comment or argue or even to advertize.

 3. The Tale of the Black Cat

    (The Criteria of High Fidelity)
    When  we  are trying to define how to evaluate Hi-Fi sound, it is very
    much  like chasing a black cat in a darkened room. There is nothing to
    hang on, the certainties are only based on each one. We are attempting
    to group if not to define the criteria.

 4. Century of Concertpianos

    (The pianos of Franz Liszt)
    The  nineteenth  century,  Franz Liszt and the concert piano had their
    youth  at  the  samé  time. Our article follows the development of the
    piano through the istruments of Liszt:

 5. Recording Sheet

    Reviews, criticizm.

 6. FM-Diary

    Live broadcast concerts

 7. Pro analogue: Proprius

    Since  we  have  entered  the age of Digital Audio without a chance to
    turn back, there is only one thing left to explain: how it is possible
    that  the  analogue  recordings  still  sound the best, even if we are
    listening to CD. Our review is facing this puzzle while presenting the
    records of the Swedish company Proprius.

 8. Basic Library

    No. 4: symphonic works of Richard Strauss.

 9. FM-Performers

    Hifi Magazin is paying increased attention to radio broadcasts of live
    classical'  music  (we  even  keep publishing an FM-Calendar!), and in
    this  article  we are introducing the sound engineers who have the job
    to  capture the concert for us with their microphones. They talk about
    their profession, philosophy and how they got their start.

10. The Yellow Brick Road

    (Press Digest)
    Hi-Fi News & Record Review, Hi-Fi Answers, Audio.

11. Auditorium by the Danube

    The   first  electroacoustic  department  store  with  its  own  Hi-Fi
    listening  room  opened  its door in Budapest. Our cameras covered the
    scene  before  the  opening.  The choice is a tar cry from the Western
    European  nevertheless it is not as poor as the usual fare since it is
    including Ortofon, NAD, Heybrooke.

12. The Videoplane

    (Hi-fi VCRs)
    With  its  countless  levers  it  intimidates the uninitiated like the
    amateur  pilot facing the instrument panel of a Concorde in a disaster
    movie.  This  relatively new way of recording (arriving a little late)
    is the Hi-Fi video using FM system. It produces clear, noiseless Hi-Fi
    recording  even  on  the  cheapest  of  tapes. Our poster presents the
    JVC-manufactured Nordmende V502.

    

13. Cassette Test-II

    After  a two-year hiatus we are testing cassettes, taken directly from
    commercial  outlets  and  not  factory  samples.  True, they come from
    private rather than state run stores.

14. A "peripherical problem"

15. Presenting

    Aiwa AD-F250 tape deck

16. Between Takes
