SONY museman (1983)

 

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hartmut Esslinger and his team at frogdesign and Sony Electronics began shaping a new design philosophy that would later be known as the “International Style” — a tribute to the functional minimalism of the Bauhaus movement. As consumer electronics evolved at a fast pace, the design group established a consistent set of principles and methods, ensuring that each new generation of Sony products maintained a clear visual and functional identity. Close collaboration between designers, engineers, and manufacturing teams became a defining feature of this approach. Drawing inspiration from the toolmaking expertise at Munekata, the team introduced the idea of modular tooling — an innovation that allowed the creation of slimmer, sharper designs with zero draft surfaces and thinner walls. This process not only gave Sony products a refined, precision-engineered appearance but also reduced production time dramatically, as multiple toolmakers could work simultaneously on smaller, standardized components. Thanks to this forward-thinking method, Sony could decide early in the year which models would reach the market by mid-year, setting a new benchmark for design efficiency and product development in the electronics industry. All this considered the presented "museman" Sony walkman remained solely as a design concept. Source: esslinger group, frog design, hartmut esslinger

PIONEER A-0012/A-27 | Class AB Integrated Amplifier

 

The Pioneer A-27 (international market) integrated amplifier, also known as the A-0012 (Japanese market) was first introduced in Japan in 1977. It was part of the Pioneer Series 20 line. It is a Class AB integrated amplifier, with Class A operation up to 30W and it has a continuous power output of 120 watts per channel into 8Ω. The pre-amplifier and power amplifier can be separated. It was considered a high-end amplifier at the time of its release and is still highly regarded today. The front panel features a user-friendly design, with the main functions located at the top and secondary functions housed in a hinged smoked-glass sub-panel below. The power amplifier section, like the separate M25, boasts a Magni-Wide Power Range concept, providing ample power even at ultra-high frequencies and improving quality within the audible frequency range. To improve sound quality at low volumes, the A0012 employs pure Class A operation at outputs below 3W, gradually approaching Class B operation at (30W) rated output. This is a common feature of the series. Another notable feature is the signal-to-noise ratio of the MC head amplifier equalizer, which has been carefully optimized to match the cartridge's performance. In terms of functionality, notable features include the Pioneer-style twin control with 1 dB steps, an audio muting switch for directly connecting the DC-configuration equalizer section and power amplifier section, and a function display indicator. The power supply consists of a large left and right independent transformer with an emphasis on dynamic characteristics and a 18,000 μFx4 capacitor. The whole MC head amplifier section for turntables is divided into two systems. The first stage parallel connection symmetrical 3-stage direct-coupled A-class SEPP-DC amplifier is composed of two newly developed low-noise NPN and PNP transistors connected in parallel. It is designed to improve linearity when NFB is not applied by focusing on bare characteristics. In addition, the SN ratio is improved by adopting symmetrical circuit configuration.

DENON DR-70 | DRM-700 (1989)

 

The DR-70 introduced in 1989 (DRM-700 for the International market) is equipped with a cassette stabilizer C.C.C.S. (Ceramic Composite Cassette Stabilizer) that prioritizes sound quality and it also uses an amorphous 3-head system. In addition to a thorough vibration-proof structure, silent mechanisms and other features make the sound of the era even more vivid. A wide dynamic range delivers the ultimate in high-quality sound. DENON has pursued a comprehensive approach to mechanical stabilization, essential for achieving high sound quality. In addition to the use of a two-capstan system, cassette stabilizer, and head block, the bottom cover is designed with a low center of gravity and a double structure. Equipped with B/C noise reduction and a high-quality audio circuit with a DC amplifier configuration, it achieves low noise, wide dynamic range, and high-quality sound across the board. The recording and playback heads use a highly transparent semi-alloy amorphous core with no crystalline structure. The coil wire is made of PC-OCC (pre-copper pyrophosphate) wire, and the mutual effect of these wires enhances the high frequency response. In conventional fixed bias recording circuits, there was a weakness in that when the bias voltage was too high, the MOL in the high range decreased, and when the bias voltage was too low, the overall noise increased. When the input signal contains a high level of high-frequency content, the system automatically reduces the bias from the oscillator, maintaining a constant effective bias voltage in the mid- and low-frequency ranges while significantly improving high-frequency response. This revolutionary system reproduces even agile instruments and synths with a clear, expansive, and clear sound. Dual power supply DC amplifier configuration for wide dynamic range. The amplifier section uses DC amplifiers for both the playback and recording amplifiers, dramatically improving power and quality. Direct connection to the head amplifier (no coupling capacitors) eliminates degradation of frequency response in the low frequencies. Furthermore, the powerful dual power supply section supplies high-voltage, highly stable power, increasing the saturation level of the amplifier stage and achieving a wide dynamic range. Everything is dedicated to achieving high sound quality. Dual capstans and a comprehensive silent mechanism.

Technics SL-P999 (1988)

This CD player was released by Technics in 1988. Technics would later transition to MASH 1-bit technology, but this was the last generation of multi-bit players to pursue high performance. It offered excellent cost performance and refinement, making it a truly impressive machine. The SL-P999's greatest feature was its D/A conversion section, which was the most advanced of any multi-bit player at the time. While its predecessor, the SL-P990, had a 4-DAC, 18-bit conversion system, the SL-P999 went even further, featuring a 4-DAC, linear 20-bit system. This 4-DAC, linear 20-bit system featured four D/A converters: one for the positive signal and one for the negative signal, for both the left and right channels. These four D/A converters individually converted each component to analog and then combined them in a differential amplifier. The high-precision control of the high-performance 4DAC processor LSI distinguished between positive and negative signals and switched between them, combining only the portions with good linearity, essentially eliminating the problem of so-called zero-crossing distortion caused by steps at the zero-crossing points. The digital filter was equipped with a 20-bit, 8x oversampling digital filter, allowing the use of a low-order analog low-pass filter. As a result, the adverse effects of the elements and semiconductors that make up the low-pass filter were minimized. The "4DAC Linear 20-Bit System" not only eliminated zero-crossing distortion, but also achieved constant 20-bit operation regardless of the input level, which, combined with the 20-bit high resolution of the 8x oversampling digital filter, improved the reproduction of very small signals. The power supply featured a "discrete low-noise active servo power supply." This separated and stabilized the power supplies for the servo and digital circuits, which have large current fluctuations, and the analog circuits, including the DAC, which are sensitive to power supply voltage fluctuations. This achieved low noise, low impedance, and high ripple rejection for the audio power supply, and faithfully fed back even minute fluctuations in the power supply voltage, minimizing power supply voltage fluctuations caused by DAC operation. This resulted in an extremely stable power supply for the DAC, allowing the DAC and audio circuitry to perform to their full potential. To combat vibrations from the servo system that could adversely affect sound quality, the chassis was designed to be resonance-free and vibration-free. To counter external vibrations, a multi-layered base made of different materials, including a metal chassis base and a TNRC (Technics Non-Resonance Compound) base, was used. It achieved high vibration resistance by converting vibrations into thermal energy. The legs were equipped with large insulators to block vibrations, and the optical deck was double-floated from the chassis using a multi-insulator configuration, achieving significant vibration damping.It was equipped with a variety of functions, including song selection. A large shuttle search dial on the front panel allowed for shuttle search at four speeds, from 1/8x to 76x, in both forward and reverse directions. Original sale price in Germany 1.600 DM

PHILIPS F9638 MFB (1983) | Motional Feedback

 

The MFB loudspeaker F 9638 from 1983 incorporated Philips' latest scientific findings in active loudspeaker technology. While these are "super-high-tech" loudspeakers they went fairly unnoticed in the world of high fidelity. The main problem these loudspeakers went unnoticed is the fact that Philips brochures presented them as just another Philips product. These however incorporated a series of features that were unknown/revolutionary while the way they were presented created confusion in understanding what they really are. 

Revolutionary, that's what they were. In todays language these features are as follow: 

- Active loudspeaker technology. Built-in amplifier with dedicated 75W bass amplifier and 55W mid-high range amplifier and active crossover network.

- Automatic power on-off when used with a pre-amplifier

- Pre-set audio level adjustment on the front

- Side selector switch to assign which speaker is left and which is right channel

- Increased acoustic reproduction power possible by connecting several MFB speakers in series. 

- Flat diaphragm woofer and midrange

- Isophase ribbon tweeter

- MFB (Motional Feedback System). A built-in accelerometer detects movement of the bass loudspeaker while it's feedback results in less distortion.

- Designed to be used directly with a preamplifier in a multi-speaker configuration

- Designed for Digital Audio. These were introduced when CD was just introduced and the "for Digital Audio" badge (as used by many manufacturers) induced the fact that you absolutely need these loudspeaker for perfect audio from CD. This was of course just an exaggerated term. 

- Frequency range 27-40,000 Hz

- Total amplifier power (DIN): 105 watts nominal, 130 watts music

- Size: 31x63x24cm

And just as a final notice. Let's not forget that these loudspeakers were simply presented as a special kind of Hi-Fi loudspeakers not some kind of Ultra High-End out of this world Exotic creatures.

AKAI N35 (1979)

 

In March 1979, at the very first European hi-fi exhibition of the year in Paris, Akai introduced a bold concept: the N35 series mini hi-fi system. Designed as a compact yet high-performance setup, the N35 combined modern technology with sleek styling, aiming to deliver serious sound in a smaller format.

A Four-Component System

The Akai N35 was presented as a complete system built from four separate components:

• GC-N35 Cassette Deck – a front drawer-loading deck, compatible with LN, LH, Chrome, and FeCr tapes.

• AT-N35 Digital Tuner – offering precise tuning and a modern look for its time.

• PA-N35 Preamplifier – the control center of the system.

• PM-N35 Power Amplifier – providing the muscle to drive speakers with clarity and punch.

Ahead of Its Time

Although the N35 series never went into full production, it played a vital role in Akai’s product development. Its design concepts and compact modular approach directly influenced later models, most notably the Akai UC series mini hi-fi systems. 

Legacy

Today, the Akai N35 stands as a fascinating chapter in vintage audio history—a glimpse into what could have been, and a reminder of Akai’s constant drive to innovate during the golden era of hi-fi.

YAMAHA MX-2000 (1988)

 

A cutting-edge power amplifier that achieves ideal Class A operation, with a focus on low impedance and drivability. Class A operation over the entire load and power range. HCA (Hyperbolic Transform Amplification) circuit. Conventional Class A amplifiers have struggled to achieve high power, especially when driving low impedance, but Yamaha's unique HCA circuit has been incorporated into this amplifier. This circuit achieves Class A operation over the entire load and power range. Furthermore, because the HCA circuit operates as a pure converter with no feedback loop or gain, transient response is always excellent. High-power 4-parallel push-pull amplifier with MOS FET power buffer. The output element of the power buffer stage employs a power MOS FET, known as the most advanced audio output element available today. Because the power MOS FET is a voltage-controlled element with high input impedance, it places less strain on the driver stage and allows for circuit simplification, among other advantages. The MX-2000 employs eight of these power MOS FETs per channel in a quad-parallel push-pull configuration, achieving a Class A rated output of 150W + 150W (6 ohm). Combined with the inclusion of an HCA circuit, this achieves a high Class A dynamic power output of 600W + 600W (1 ohm). A dual FET input voltage amplifier that achieves wide bandwidth and high slew rate. The first stage voltage amplifier, which amplifies the voltage, uses the most sophisticated dual differential input cascode boost circuit configuration. The AK4110 employs a strap circuit, which provides outstanding wideband characteristics and a high slew rate that is resistant to transient inputs. Furthermore, by positioning the voltage amplifier board close to the input terminals, it achieves low noise and a high S/N ratio. Relay and output coil distortion is also eliminated. Direct error correction amplifier. To ensure perfect matching with the connected speaker system and stable drive capability, only one speaker output is provided. Furthermore, by using only one output, overall distortion from input to output is thoroughly eliminated by incorporating a unique direct error correction amplifier. The unit achieves a low harmonic distortion of 0.003% (8 ohm 20-20,000Hz, 130W output), and a damping factor (a measure of speaker drive capability) of over 1000. High-quality design throughout. A new low-resonance chimney type heat sinker has been adopted. By adopting an oval shape that eliminates sharp angles in the heat dissipation section, the buzzing of the heat sinker due to resonance has been eliminated. In addition, luxurious gold-plated pass bars are embedded in the power stage board, promoting the transfer impedance of the power line and output line. Furthermore, audio-grade electrolytic capacitors are used throughout, ensuring a high-quality design. 420VA large massive power transformer. 20,000/F x 2 low-magnification electrolytic capacitors. The power supply section is designed to be just what is necessary and sufficient, with careful consideration given to power regulation and noise characteristics. It features a large, massive 420VA power transformer with an EI core and two 20,000µF electrolytic capacitors. Combined with the weight-optimized power transformer, this delivers a high-quality sound that simply cannot be achieved with large capacity. 

It is also equipped with a high-speed peak level meter that allows you to accurately read the output level. To ensure accurate readings of speaker output levels that change moment by moment in response to the music signal, the unit is equipped with independent left and right dB-scale logarithmic compression high-speed peak level meters. A protection-linked speaker switch that turns speaker output on and off while in power standby mode. ●Independent left and right detent-type input attenuators. ●Gold-plated brass pin jack terminals. ●Gold-plated brass speaker terminals compatible with extra-thick cables. Extra thick OFC power cord with polarity indicator. Specifications: ● Rated Output: 130W + 130 W (8 ohm 20-20,000Hz, up to 0.003%), 150W + 150W (6 ohm 20-20,000Hz, up to 0.003%), 180W + 180W (4 ohm 20-20,000Hz, distortion 0.01%) ● Frequency Response: 5-100,000 Hz ● Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.003% (8 ohm 20-20,000Hz - 130W) ● S/N Ratio: 125dB (IHF-A input shorted) ● Channel Separation: 95dB (1kHz, input shorted) ● Dimensions: 473 W x 170 H x 469 mm ● Weight: 28kg | Titanium color | Matching pre-amplifier CX-2000.

PHILIPS N7300 (1980)

HiFi technology continually offered surprising innovations that significantly improved the quality level of a device. This is the case with the tape recorder N7300 from Philips. The core of this newly developed design is a rigid injection-molded chassis for the absolutely precise alignment of the drive elements, the tape guide, and the tape head carrier plate. This ensures maximum stability, accurate tape guidance, and optimal tape-head contact. The result: precise functions, consistent HiFi quality. Servo Control: a new functional technology with decisive advantages. A servo motor controls the pinch roller and tape feed functions. In the "Stop" position, the pinch roller is retracted, allowing the tape to be inserted quickly and easily. In the "Pause" position, the pinch roller has a short travel from "Pause" to "Play" or "Record". This results in gentle Tape Tension and fast movement. The tape lift pins remain retracted in the "Pause" position, and the tape lies firmly and smoothly in front of the tape heads: recording or playback can begin immediately. The tape is stopped using the "Pause" button; the "Stop" button is only used when changing tapes or turning off the unit. The tape tension is controlled inductively, as with professional devices. The respective position of the tape tension sensing lever influences the motor current of the winding motors. This ensures that the tape is always taut in front of the tape heads. Both motors react evenly, smoothly, and precisely when starting and stopping. Tape stretching and looping are eliminated. Long-Life-Heads - Extremely smooth metal surfaces characterize the newly developed long-life tape heads. They become dirty less quickly and thus offer improved sound performance. The frequency response and crosstalk attenuation are positively influenced. Adjustable cueing volume - It is easy to monitor the forward or rewind winding of the reels, whether turned by hand or by motor power. The cueing volume can be individually adjusted. Main features: 3 hi-fi long-life tape heads, 4-track technology, 3-motor drive with electronic control, retractable pinch roller, adjustable cueing level, inductive tape tension control, 2 illuminated level meters. LED overload indicator, separate channel level control via rotary controls, microphone and headphone connection on the front panel, built-in headphone amplifier with volume control, push-button control with smooth-action short-stroke keys, start-stop remote control connection for LFD 3414 remote control (accessory), intermix operation, safety circuit with electronic locking.

SONY PS-L99 (1983) | Time, Track, Programme

 

An Innovative Vintage Turntable from 1983. Is this the best turntable ever made? Definitely not—but it’s certainly one of the most innovative. Released in 1983, this remarkable piece of audio engineering introduced features that had never been seen before on a conventional turntable. At its core, the design relies on two proven technologies: a Direct Drive motor and a Linear Tracking tonearm. However, what sets this model apart is the way these elements were implemented. The front-loading construction allows the turntable to be placed in a stack with other components, while its compact size (355mm wide) made it ideal for midi systems, such as Sony’s Liberty series. What makes this turntable truly unique are the advanced functions it offered. After loading a vinyl record, the track numbers are displayed on the front panel. Once playback begins, the unit shows the elapsed time of the track—not as a real-time counter, but as a stopwatch function starting with the play command. Even more impressive, the turntable allows the user to program a sequence of up to 8 tracks from one side of a record, including the option for random playback. For vintage audio collectors and turntable enthusiasts, this model remains a fascinating example of how far manufacturers were willing to push the limits of analog playback technology in the 1980s. Original sale price in Germany: 850 DM.
