The Advent 300 is a legendary piece of audio gear from the mid-70s, renowned
for its tuner and preamp. Without an owners manual it may be hard to figure
out just what the various inputs and outputs do as terminology has evolved
(my apologies to any  anti-evolutionists) and the gear to which it was
designed to mate (reel-to-reel tape?) has morphed in the intervening years.
