A
handy specification booklet has been compiled by
William C. Jahn. Covered are amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, receivers,
cassette decks, tuners, open reel decks, turntables, speakers, headphones,
microphones and more. It is less comprehensive compared to the definitive
1970-1985 Specification Bible described elsewhere on this website, but it is a
worthwhile brief reference to have. Contact William C. Jahn at his email
