Moved the 1959 Curtis Mathes Stereo into the Victorian Last Night





Moved the 1959 Curtis Mathes Stereo into the Victorian Last Night, we
wanted to have some Christmas Music downstairs, playing a Centerville
Tennessee Radio Station on the FM Stereo Radio ... a 1959 Curtis Mathes
High Fidelity Stereo Model 6029B, Curtis Mathes 1959 HiFi Stereo Model
6029B ... Curtis Mathes Electronics Company was born in the late 1950s
at the birth of the high fidelity age. This is the age of the
reproduction of sound, usually music, with minimum variation from the
original. The wording "high fidelity" is commonly used in reference to
many of the early Curtis Mathes stereos and televisions consoles. These
masterpieces had electronic amplifying and recording systems designed to
reproduce radio programs and recorded material with the highest quality
commensurate with the current engineering techniques of the late 1950s.
To do this, the system was to be built and capable of handling all
sounds within the range of the human ear, from about 30 to 15,000
vibrations, or cycles, per second. This spectrum of sound, which is
approximately the range of tones produced by a symphony orchestra, must
also be reproduced with a minimum of distortion, that is, be free from
any harshness or deviation from the clarity of the original performance.
