Great strides have been made in the last 30 years. In the early '60s an AM/FM radio was considered a new option and not even available on all models. By the late '60s 8-track stere- os started showing up on option lists, but were replaced by cas- sette units in the late '70s. The '80s witnessed an influx of continually more sophisti- cated equipment, Call Toll Free 1-800-95-MORAN • 13 Mile ART MORAN °Mitsubishi OPorifiac/GMC 'Fmk GMC TRUCK 353-9000 Lox & Sable Jewish News subscribers are 8 times more likely than the national average to own a Mercury Sable.

In 1989 Ford's Thunderbird could be ordered with a CD player for the first time. Today the choices available to the car buyer can seem a bit overwhelming. The advances to the driver make it possible to access more channels easily, with better sound and with in- creased ability to "fine-tune" the music system for individual preferences. The current crop of radio car systems allow the driver to pro- gram many stations. Cassette players can locate the beginning of the next or previous song with a touch of a button. Hav- ing the top of the line AM/FM radio is now basic equipment. The ability to seek, scan and lock-in on distant stations and then store information have be- come standard for the industry. With CDs showing up in in- creasing numbers, the prices have naturally come down, putting them in the reach of more consumers. • CD players range from $300 to $500. • CD players are commonly offered in several different con- figurations. • The CD AM/FM radio com- bination limits those that wish to play cassettes. Many of the type of car you own is the first step. Even with space limitations, the variety re- mains quite sufficient. One manufacturer's catalog listed 27 different types of speakers. Prices range from around $79 for 1-inch speakers to over $100 for 12-inch versions. Because auto-sound sales are frequent and, by doing some comparative shopping, the con- sumer can realize substantial savings. It used to be that when am- plifiers were mentioned in the same sentence as automobiles, everyone assumed you were a member of a rock band. Now, more and more systems feature amplifiers as a way of over- powering road noise as well as enhancing various nuances in the music. The goal is to reproduce the music as if you were in the stu- dio watching the song being recorded or at the group's latest live concert. Although the current king on the audio throne is certainly the CD, two new upstarts, are the Minidisc (MD) and the Digital Compact Disc (DCC). For the consumer ready to upgrade a system or to install their first high-quality unit, both Stereo Review and Con- sumer Reports are good sources of information.
