We did not jump in with both feet when stereophonic sound was first introduced. We were well-pleased with our hi-fi set, and we kept it until the inevitable improvements were developed in stereo sets. We watch the advertising columns and the news columns of the music pages, looking for new gadgets that may make our wonderful hi-fi even better than it is now, but we seek impartial expert advice from store salesmen and knowledgeable friends before we make any purchase.
As a result of our care in selecting records and in caring for and trying to improve our phonograph, we can enjoy hours of fine music, according to our taste, in the comfort of home. We have much leisure, but little boring idleness. We can thrill to an exciting evening with Beethoven or a tempestuous afternoon with Louis Armstrong.
Music may be as boisterous as a thunderstorm or as soothing as a lullaby. But whatever it is, it is relaxing, for it eases the stress and strain of the everyday world. It is soul-healing therapy. It brings rest to the weary, new inspiration to the downcast, and new hope to the forlorn.
A hi-fi tape recorder can give you an opportunity to add some fine items to your library of recordings without getting up from your favorite chair in the living-room. Whenever a radio or television show that promises to be a musical treat is announced, record it. If for any reason the performance does not come up to your expectation, wipe it off the tape, and your tape is ready to use again.
