The first tuner and amplifier that won't scare you into buying a receiver.
Most people buy a receiver instead of a separate tuner and amplifier because they think it's easier to handle. less complicated. not as frightening, even less expensive.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Which is amply proven by the Optonica ST-3535 tuner and the SM-4545 amplifier. a pair so easy to get along with. and so easily affordable, you'll he glad you didn't settle for a receiver.
The Optonica ST-3535 tuner is designed lisp clear reception and high sensitivity and has a built-n meter that detects multipath distortion.
And here's a feature we bet you won't find on a receiver: an air check calibrator to give you an accurate FM Air Check. Just flip on the switch and a level signal equivalent to that of the FM signal is generated. Then all You have to do is set the recording level to JVC on the tape deck.

The first turntable that's as steady as a rock.
Turntables shouldn't cause howling and screeching through the night. But that's exactly what happens. thanks to mechanical and acoustic feedback caused by loudspeakers vibrating an insecure turntable.
Since most turntable bases have been made of laminated plywood. beech, die-casting or plastic. howling has been a problem that just wouldn't go away Until today. that is.
Announcing the Optonica RP-3636 Direct Drive Turntable. We built the ideal turntable.
literally as solid as a rock because it's built on 15.8 pounds of Mikage granite stone. Which means that vibrations from the speakers are absorbed, reducing acoustical feedback and maintaining maximum signal to noise ratio.
The Optonica RP-3636 also features a highly sensitive S-shaped tonearm. Which means that the stylus will pick up subtle sound signals as accurately as the cutter stylus that recorded them. And an oil-damped cueing control that gently lifts and lowers the tonearm so your records will be protected from damage.
