a ——— Rea 1 aT iMusic can best express man’s greatest joys and deepest sorrows, for of all the arts it is the most eloquent. Music figures much in literature, because great writers have always instinctively realised its importance. “Music”, said Congreve, “can soothe the savage breast”. And Shakespeare famously observed: “The man that hath no music in himself, and is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils”. Bringing musical inspiration intact into the home is the audio maker's raison d’éire. Technology, no matter how complex and fascinating, is merely a means to this end, and must remain so. Paying due respect to the intentions of the composer and the artiste, Technics audio engineers and designers work to reproduce their work with the greatest possible fidelity. They have the latest and best laboratories at their disposal, but they have no magic wand. Success comes but slowly, hard-won at the frontiers of audio science. The high fidelity components introduced on the following pages are the fruits of their patient labours.
