I got a catalog in the mail the other day from Fordham Radio in New York. They sell a little box which plugs into your TV, and gives "simulated stereo" to your stereo. It comes complete with isolation transformer and everything, and sells for $19.95. If there's enough interest, I'll post Fordham's address to the net. --Dave Curry pur-ee!davy

It comes complete with isolation transformer and everything, and sells for $19.95. pur-ee!davy I have an RCA 19" top-of-the-line TV that includes pseudo-stereo as an additional misfeature in the [built-in] audio takeoff. I wish I could disconnect the lousy thing -- it adds delay, etc, and simply summing the two outputs doesn't improve things. For the [very] few times I wanted a takeoff, I would have greatly preferred mono. Even if the Fordham box is any better, you will still be extremely disappointed at the defects in TV sound -- they'll be much more noticable. In the last week of [exclusively Public Television] viewing, I have heard more wow, flutter, and noise than you could get in a month of listening to an old, crummy Voice of Music portable phono (I had one when I was 8). Has anyone else noticed these problems? bill cox bill@uwisc ...seismo!uwvax!bill
