[R-390] R-388 - Audio Quality

Mon, 21 Jan 2002 21:35:51 -0800 (PST)

Now if you want Quality Audio, the Hallicrafters SX-28 and SX-42, BIG AUDIO !!!

A pair of 6V6 tubes in push-pull, not any old push-pull with some lousey single tube phase
inverter, no no no, a full blown differential amplifier feeding the Output tubes.

In the SX-42 of 1947 vintage, it had negative feedback from the speaker side of the output
transformer for extra low distortion, the receiver also had two wideband FM ranges for your post
war music enthusiasts, who listened to those "new fangled" FM radio stations.

There was also a huge 12" Bass Refrex Hallicrafters speaker/cabinet (wood of course) approx 4ft
tall and 2 ft wide for use with the SX-28, drop me a line I have a jpg of one (in colour) if you
are interested.
