Well, in this issue, I discovered at least two interesting circuits. Each channel gets its own treble and bass controls a shared stereo volume and balance control rumble filter and high-frequency notch filter, with selectable frequencies an input signal selector and, lastly, but most interestingly, a sonic presentation mode control, which allowed the user to choose between stereo or mono or just left or right channel signals. What caught my attention was all the sonic control on display. Recently, issue numero 10 from October 1961 caught my eye, as its cover displayed an integrated tube amplifier from Max Lin (or Maxline), their model IM205. Like so much that is Italian, the design and layout are gorgeous, displaying a refined elegance and an extravagant and opulent use of white space just a decade later, this near classical clarity of design layout will succumb to the drug-induced altered consciousness of the late 1960s.* Thus, in spite of my not being able to read Italian, I love pouring over the magazine. The magazines are from the late 1950s and early 1960s and splendid to behold. I only own a few issues of the excellent Italian magazine Alta Fedeltà , a kind gift sent almost 20 years ago by an Italian reader.
