TO FULLY GRASP THE GENIUS OF SONY WE SUGGEST A SIMPLE EXPERIMENT
A lot of high-fidelity manufacturers would like to impress you with how well their turn tables play sideways or even upside down. But at Sony, we believe a much more valid test of a turntable is how well it plays flawed re cords. Which, in point of fact, is every single record you buy.
So, to prove to you just how much better Sony's new PS-X600 makes your imperfect records sound, bring us a warped re cord. An old favorite that barely plays. And play it on the X600.
Instead of bumps, jumps, clunks and other distortions, you'll hear crisp, clear sound. That's because the X600 features the only tonearm that actually comes to life the instant the record begins to play-Sony's exclusive Biotracer. The Biotracer's remarkable two-motor, computer guidance system actively senses record warps, center holes off-center, unwanted resonances-those factors that degrade the play of a record--and instantly compensates for them.
And you don't need a special cartridge for it to work. The Biotracer is compatible with the widest range of cartridges.
Other outstanding features: a Magnedisc servo speed control system works like a quartz watch to lock onto the correct speed; gel-filled feet isolate the turntable from vibrations; there's automatic record-size sensing and other sophisticated features without the sophisticated price.
So the point is simple. If you want to play records upside down, there are several turntables to choose from. But if you do your record playing right side up, there's really only one name to choose. It's Sony.
