Tape has been pictured as the ultimate sound source in some circles and one might think that a person like Bruce, with the finest in tape equipment, would avoid records and FM as sources. Nothing could be further from the truth. His Scott 310-D tuner (one of the most sensitive FM sets ever made) in conjunction with Scott's multiplex adapter, provides the household with music most of every day and particularly on occasions such as parties, dinners, etc. On the Humphrey roof it an eight-element yagi antenna, mute testimony to his interest in long distance FM reception...
...suspended from ceiling, about six feet from the floor, and tight against the bamboo. Bruce feels this staggered placement contribute the sense of depth his system imparts. The Humphrey living room is provided with special sockets which allow versatile placement of his Model Sixes and connection of a tuner to the system upstairs.

The main carrier contains a combination of left and right (L+R) signals; a sub-carrier (the multiplex part) transmits the "difference" between the two signals (L - R). When the two arrive at the tuner, the MPX circuitry divides them again...
