60's Solid State V.S. 70' Solid State Tuners
"Bryan Dibble" wrote in message m... I own a top-end model ( back then) Zenith 26 " T.V, with A.M & F.M, Turntable Console and a mid 70's Kenwood Eleven model reciever. Why is the tuner portion of the Kenwood so small (and held in high esteem by some) and the tuner in the Zenith mammoth in comparison? Did technolgy advance that much in just 5 to 7 years? Or is the older Zenith a better tuner? Thank you all for any input on this matter. Sincerely, Bryan Dibble The technology did, indeed, advance remarkably. Your Kenwood has a couple of IC's that replace multiple stages of IF amplification, and it has a little chip called a phase-locked-loop, with about 40 transistors on it, that was a technological marvel at the time. |
