SONY 7065--Dedicated to the proposition that an enlightened listener is a happy listener.
You've got a really great receiver. With an air of confidence, you switch it
on, prepared to demonstrate the soul-stirring quality of the FM Stereo. And
get, instead, an embarrassing silence. Because the source switch is on phono.
It won't happen with the Sony 7065, because it keeps you informed. Enlightened, with easy-reading function lights on the dial. AM, FM, Phono, Aux, Tape, Mic. You always know where you are, at a glance. Without squinting or stooping.
But that's just the beginning. The 7065 delivers 60+60W RMS into 8 ohms from 20Hz to 20kHz. That means full rated power at each and every frequency across the entire audio spectrum. You don't lose the power you paid for when you need it, particularly for those gut-stirring lows. The sound is clean and natural, because direct-coupling eliminates the output coupling capacitors that stand between you and the music.
You can pluck stations from even the most crowded dials, or from fringe locations (thanks to the sensitive 2µV FET front end and a 1 dB capture ratio). Switch to AM and the center-channel meter winks out, while the signal strength meter stays lit. AM isn't just an afterthought in the 7065. It's quiet and sensitive.
The controls make all that superb performance easy to enjoy. Smooth acting levers switch in positive muting, the two tape monitors (with direct dubbing), and loudness compensation. Or click in your choice of three speaker pairs, high and low filters, or mix one or two microphones with any source. The 7065 is ready for SQ 4-channel and any of the other matrix systems.
The price? An enlightened $459.50 (suggested retail), including a handsome walnut finish cabinet. The 7065 highlights a line of Sony receivers starting under $200.
Sony Corporation of America, 47-47 Van Dam St., Long Island City, N.Y. 11101.
