I bought a beautiful NAD 7020 receiver and Optonica tape deck the other day from a home that I am pretty sure once belonged to Ron Burgundy. The receiver and tape deck were part of a very nice system, one of the better circa 1980’s hifis I have come across lately. The house was pretty much like a circa 1975 men’s magazine exploded inside a suburban raised ranch, spraying all the walls with sexy ‘art posters,’ mahogany paneling, and Rich Leather. Behind the bar (full bar in the enormous den, natch) was this single, solitary issue of Bob Guccis famous mag. You’ll have to take my word for this, but as my eyes fell upon this ‘book,’ the first thing that I thought was: I bet this is the ‘stereo issue.’ And guess what.

Well and fine-the non-T&A content in Penthouse, even more than in Playboy , was to provide a thin veneer of respectability to what was really a jack journal with a BIG ad rate card-but keep in mind this is the stuff that eventually made us go back to tubes despite considerable expense and ridicule. It mostly sounded godawful. It took a long time for solid state audio to sound good, one reason being that it took ten years to even admit there was a problem, and another ten to make any real progress in finding out why. True, some solid state audio sounded okay as early as the early 70s, but none of that is here.
As far as male hegemony, it sounds like a really good idea, but it hasn't happened yet, and doesn't seem too likely as long as females control the real fount of all politics and power.
