Apparently the Germans were getting better versions of certain model stereos from certain manufacturers than we were. For example:
My father had a Pioneer unit very similar to this one (slightly different color scheme), but marketed as Centrex by Pioneer. His version had a rather mediocre BSR changer where this one appears to have one sourced from CEC. Looking at the 1992/93 Aiwa brochure I expected to see plenty of those flashy all in one units since those started appearing here in droves about that time, but instead I see this as one of their many decent quality offerings:
If I am not mistaken, this actually looks to be quite a good deck. Some of the older Aiwa all in ones from the 70's also looked quite good with real (again, I am thinking CEC) turntables. They were holding out on us!!!

I've never seen a brochure for Hados. That was the cabinet vendor ADS & Braun used through the 80's. Neat!

It'd be better to refer to it as a European site as that's where the gear it covers was sold, i've posted several links to it on various forums here for the last 2 or 3 years, it's not new or a secret.
Thanks for the link.
