EARLY 60's DUMONT CONSOLE STEREO, MARTY GOLD & ORCHESTRA - JUNGLE DRUMS

RCA Victor "Living Stereo" LP record from 1960, beautiful ping-pong stereophonic sound. Played on my Dumont console stereo circa early 1960s, solid wood cabinet w/walnut veneers, a fine piece of furniture made in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and kept in immaculate condition. 100% solid state (all transistorized), probably one of the first of its kind as it still uses speaker output transformers. Model T-100 tuner/pre-amplifier is what's visible in the console and a separate power amp chassis is located inside and concealed in the cabinet. The technicians at the shop tell me she's pumping out 20 watts RMS per channel; all the electronics have been rebuilt. AM/FM/FM stereo with AFC, scratch and rumble filter settings, mono button for monaural recordings (reduces groove noise). VU meters for audio balance and also for tuning strength in both AM/FM. Buttons for selecting headphones/internal/external speakers or both at once. This splits the output to 4 X 10 watts when both int/ext speakers used. Garrard 'lab series' type A record changer completely overhauled, new Shure cartridge and elliptical stylus for incredible frequency response and tracking at 3.0 grams. Each speaker chamber is air-tight and acoustic suspension with: 12 inch polypropylene woofer w/rubber surround; 5 inch midrange; 4 inch tweeter and 1-1/2 inch supertweeter each with dedicated crossover. This piece of equipment kicks butt, if you're playing this back with a subwoofer and tweeters you'll hear what I mean. This piece of history looks as good as new and fills the room with larger than life sound!

@wb5oxq I have the RCA Victor mono LP as well as this one, they're both great. My favorite thing though is to listen to the stereo LP over headphones, or sit right up close in the center of the console speakers and get that ping-pong effect, it's quite startling

I love this tune. I have heard it by Xavier Cugat on a RCA HI Fi and it sounded good too.

@loupi52 Like I was saying to Rockabillykid01 it brings me back to my younger days and it's fun for me... I like to share and it's great to get comments, thanks!

@Rockabillykid01 You're welcome and thank you too. This Marty Gold record has some really unusual arrangements, they were really doing the 'ping pong' stereo thing then. I guess it's the kid in me -- reliving this is very enjoyable.
