a new bearing made of a special nylon
compound containing molybdenum
disulfide. Additionally. the surtace ot
the bearing is tinished with a special
mirror finish" technique that minimizes
wear.

New Accurate-Tracking S-Shaped
Tonearm

This tonearm improves on conventional
models. The fulcrum point of the
tonearm now has increased area and
weight. and thus it is more securely
positioned. This means it will resist
any harmful vibration in the front~back
or left-right directions. and respond
positively only to the undulations in the
record groove. The result is increased
stability.

Other advantages include a tubular
tonearm titled with a special acoustic
absorbent. and the tonearm which is
solidly mounted on a large. thick

zinc die-cast base to prevent re-
sonance. Also. the connector contacts
of the universal headshell are gold-
plated to prevent deterioration.

All of this careful attention to detail
contributes overall to the enhanced
tonal quality of the SR'333 that is
obvious when you ptay a record

on it.

Sturdy. Howling-Resistant Cabinet
The elegant. ruggedly designed cabinet
includes numerous anti-howling
measures specially developed by
Sansui tor this turntable. The particle-
board base lixed inside the cabinet
increases the internal loss ol vibration
energy. There are also newly«developed
corn plex-structure insulators that
absorb any external vibration. The
cabinet also comes complete with a
removable. transparent dust cover with
tree-stop hinges.
