UHER HiFi-miniset (1978) - Small Technical Wonder

To celebrate their 25th anniversary UHER introduced the HiFi-miniset in 1978. Most of the times the promotional materials only showed the CR 240 cassette deck, EG 740 digital tuner and the VG 840 pre-amplifier. As you can see this system cannot be used as a home Hi-Fi system without the additional power amplifier, the Z 140. In addition of delivering 65 W/ch (Sinus DIN 4 ohm) power for the loudspeakers (such as the UHER W140 2-way loudspeaker) the Z140 also acted as power supply for the EG 740, VG 840 and CR 240. In case you decided to use active loudspeakers for the HiFi-miniset (CR240, EG740, VG840) you needed the Z141 external power supply. The extremely compact CR 240 cassette deck measuring only 23.5x5.9x18.5 cm could be also used as a battery powered (6 batteries, the Z215 or Z 217 rechargeable battery) portable recorder. The CR 240 can be mains powered too with the help of the Z 131 power source that slides into the battery compartiment. For home use the UHER Z105 MINI INFORM dedicated rack was sold as an accesory.

Master and the Clones (1987)

This was not the first time in the history of High-Fidelity when a component was rebadged under several other brand names. This pre-amplifier / power amplifier combo from 1989 is perhaps the one that saw the most versions, most notably in Germany. The original was made by LOTTE of Korea and you can see below the "clones". Most of them had the same lettering and some even kept the model number as well. There were two versions made, one was 200 W/ch while the other one was 150 W/ch.
