STEREO REVIEW

SMALL WONDER MAKES BIG SOUND

by William Franklin

After 30 years at Superior Sound Labs (SSL), legendary audio engineer John Anderson has left and started an independent firm, Anderson Associates, to sell his latest creation. The A2000 radio is only 5 centimeters tall, but despite its small dimensions, it delivers excellent sound and usually gets very good reception. Mr. Anderson is best known as one of the engineers who invented the RX3 noise-reduction system.

From the outside, the design of his new product is breathtakingly simple. The A2000 radio consists of two knobs and a speaker -----the large knob is the tuning dial and the small one controls the volume. The A2000 sounds far better than anything else in its modest price range. I tested it against an expensive stereo system I own and was very surprised at how well its performance compared. My only complaints are that the radio comes only in white and that I had a little trouble picking up one of my favorite stations on the tuner.

To: Editors of Stereo Review

Thank you for your positive review of our new product. I feel that the A2000 is designed for people who care more about how a radio sounds than how it looks. However, my business partners have convinced me that not everyone feels the way I do. Consequently, I would like to inform your readers that we will be releasing the A2000 in four decorator colors in time for the holidays this year.

To improve FM reception, try moving the radio closer to a window or outside wall, plugging it into a different outlet, or moving around the power cord (which also functions as an antenna wire).

By the way, your review contains one inaccuracy that I would like to take this opportunity to correct. I was an engineer employed by SSL at the time that RX3 was developed, but I was not involved with that project in any way.

Sincerely,

John Anderson

President, Anderson Associates
