The earliest examples used a speaker from Fane, then they switched to the Goodmans before settling on the Elac. Additionally, the early non-A models used a different amplifier with different equalisation.

So, depending on how early your current example is, it might well be rather different to the one I've measured today. Next time you get the chance, give an Elac-equipped RP38A another listen

Against that, the Hunter has less FM sensitivity than the other sets, meaning it's not always practical to use mine here. They vary considerably in practice, and despite working on hundreds of them, I still haven't figured out all of the reasons for the variations. One day

So, where did I store my early Hunters...
