Tor quite a few years, the Stereo Studio audio consultants have resisted the idea of so-called "compact music systems". A
"compact" is a unit that combines the functions of separate components into a single control center-amplifier-turntabe package,
with two detached speakers. We resisted them for two reasons: our tests consistently showed that the quality of design and work
manship was inferior to that of separate components at comparable prices, and compacts offered little of the flexibility of
separate components.
We have now re-evaluated our position. The price of good stereo components has risen, along with every other price in our
ecomomy, and that leaves the person with $200-$250 to spend with little chance of finding a good music system of separate
components. At the same time, we have finally found a quality line of compact music systems that we believe is decidedly
superior in performance to the few separate components available in this price bracket.
We are so convinced that Meriton compacts are worthy of your consideration, that we have selected two of them as Best Buy
Systems.
STEREO OWE
' rayy 5 " - jji jf iff
For modest stereo budgets, the Meriton HF-1900SP-190 is
indeed a best buy, because it offers solid performance and
features normally not available at this price. Electronic compon
ents such f. FETsI in the front end, and ceramic filters in the
IF stage of the tuner provide excellent sensitivity. The control
section features an auxiliary input, plus input and output for a
tape deck, monitor, loudness control, and front-panel head
phone jack. The turntable, which includes dust cover, is a 3
speed BSR with anti-skate adjustment. Power output: 6 watts
per channel RMS into 8 ohms, both channels driven from 40 Hz
20kHz with no more than 2 THD.

STEREO TWO
For an additional $40, the Meriton HF-2500SP-250 Stereo
Music Compact offers a substantial increase in power and
features. In addition to FET front end tuner, the Meriton's
Phase Locked Loop circuit reinforces low FM stereo distortion
and high stereo separation. Tuning meter and built-in AFC assure
precise tuning and drift-free reception. BSR 3-speed automatic
manual turntable includes viscous-damped cueing and calibrat
ed stylus pressure gauge. Control section has provision for
remote speakers, and provides 12 watts per channel RMS, both
channels driven into 8 ohms from 30Hz-20kHz with no more
than 2 THD.
