Letters From North America by Peary Perry
A longtime reader laments the mismatch between instructions and components in stereo systems from Vox Master to modern models. He recalls the evolution from complex wiring to idiot proof designs with color coded, clearly marked parts and English instructions, while joking about future home tech becoming plug and play. He compares stereo progress to computers and microwaves, hoping for universal ease of use and a mastered answering machine.
