A RECORD IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE TURNTABLE IT'S PLAYED ON.

Today, because of sophisticated recording techniques, records are better. There's more and more music in the grooves.

And with digital, direct-to-disc, and half-speed mastering, audiophile discs are nearing perfection.

So your equipment has to be better to meet these tougher, higher standards. That's why Sansui's new line of turntables is designed to play today's audiophile discs--and tomorrows. We’ve combined high technology with convenience. Take a look.

The fully automatic, direct-drive XR-Q11 features a microprocessor controlled programmer that lets you choose the playing order of up to seven selections; the quick response quartz-crystal PLL servo system with digital read-out greatly improves turntable accuracy and stability and the solid BMC case helps eliminate feedback. Result? Wow and flutter reduced to 0.015% and a 78-dB signal-to-noise ratio.

Our mid-priced FR-D55 shares many of the outstanding features of the XR-Q11, including direct drive, sequence programmer, and the straight-line, DynaOptimum-Balanced (DOB) tonearm with a separate motor to control its fully automatic operation. The arm tracks only the record, not nearby footsteps or speaker-transmitted vibrations.

Like the FR-D55, the modestly priced FR-D35 has a direct-drive motor, platter and strobe indicator, with ±3% pitch control, Impressive 0.025% wow/flutter and 72dB S/N ratio. And all upfront operating controls, so you don't need to raise the dust cover.

That's only half the Sansui turntable story there are three other models to choose from: the XR-Q9, FR-D45 and the FR-D25.
