 The Sound of Nakamichi

Next time you audition stereo components,

close your eyes and concentrate on the sound of music.
Don't be surprised to find that most electronics
sound the same. They do! Now listen to the
Nakamichi ST -7 AM/FM Stereo Tuner, CA -5 Control
Amplifier and PA -7 Power Amplifier.
Hear the difference? The clarity? The transparency?
Nakamichi electronics sound better because they're
designed better. Unlike ordinary power amplifiers
that rely on "feedback" to lower distortion,
the PA -7 STASIS circuit generates negligible distortion
without using global feedback. The ST -7's Schotz
NR system helps it reach out farther and pull in
distant stations cleanly and quietly.
And, by eliminating unnecessary circuitry and controls, the
CA -5 ensures you the ultimate in sonic purity.
Step out of the ordinary... Step up to
The Sound of Nakamichi.

The Atelier CD3 Compact Disc player is the newest
example of the ADS philosophy:
Never rush to market with a "me too" product.
Take the time and trouble to design an original.
We did.
We used 16 -bit digital to aralog converters for each
channel and two-times oversampling to insure exceptional
accuracy, low distortion, and outstanding signal-to-noise
ratios.
We developed digital/analog filtering that not only
eliminates sampling and conversion noise but allows less
than 2 degrees of phase shift from 20-20kHz.
We designed an advancea error correction system with a
unique variable correction w'ndow. This system focuses
only on the data in error and eliminates unnecessary large-

scale correction of the music signal.
The resulting sound of the CD3 is smooth and clear, free
from the shrillness often associated with less advanced
D players. Frequency response, as Digital Audio described
L, is "frighteningly close to perfect."
Of course, the CD3 shares the rational, uncluttered
design of other Atelier components. Front panel controls
are simple and logical. More complex functions, such as
indexing, time and track display, toggling and 30 selection
programming are hidden on a push -to -release pivoting
panel.
An optional remote control unit, the RC1, is available for
the CD3. it has the capability to control all future Atelier
components.
The CD3 is now at your local ADS dealer. Listen to one,
touch one, see how close to perfect a CD player can be.

S -X1130 Audio/Video/Stereo Receiver

Introducing
one brilliant idea
on top of another
Unmatched FM Stereo/AM Stereo reception and video control makes them fantastic. X -Balanced circuitry
makes them phenomenal. Sansui's 130 watt S -X1130 and 100 watt S -X1100 Quartz PLL Audio/Video receivers
are so far advanced, they even have a special decoder that lets you receive broadcasts of all AM stereo systems.
What's more, their unique X -Balanced circuitry cancels out external distortion and decisively eliminates IHM,
for the purest all-around listening pleasure.
But the advantages don't stop there. Both receivers are complete Audio/Video control centers that are
radically different-and significantly more versatile-than any others on the market. The S -X1130 delivers all
the highly advanced audio and video performance of the S -X1100, with the added bonus of sharpness and fader
controls for enhanced video art functions. And both units offer additional audio dexterity with multidimension"
for expanded stereo or simulated stereo, plus sound mixing capabilities.
For more brilliant, innovative ideas, check out our full line of superior receivers.
You'll know why we're first, the second you hear us.

 If digital audio has raised your expectations, it's time to
put Dahlquist DOM loudspeakers at the top of your list.
DOM's are high performance monitors -that means that they remain
clear, confident, and in control across the full range of digital dynamics.
The natural energy of music stands revealed and with it a whole new
excitement and satisfaction. That's why DOM's may well be the
most significant upgrade you can make.
So, if your system isn't up to digital, listen up to Dahlquist.

recording heritage-the first CD players with Nakamichi Sound, that
ineffable clarity and natural reproduction that must be heard to be believed.
