4 out of 5 stars Great recorder for "control freaks"   July 16, 2006
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I purchased this machine 3 years ago, but it is not used a lot. However, this machine has several features that are very hard to find on any audio cassette recorder:
1. Manual control of recording levels ("balance" knob for independant channel control)
2. Several level LED indicators that make fine adjustments to levels very easy.
3. Three (3) heads that allow for monitor of playback during recording, as well as source monitor.
3. Manual bias setting procedure.
While I use an external DBX compansion unit (2:1)exclusively for this unit (to compensate for the poor audio quality of audio cassettes) the machine provides good quality audio using none or one of the provided noise reduction methods. There is no auto direction change; the cassette must be manually turned over to play or record the next side of the cassette--BUT THAT CAN BE A GOOD THING, as many of those auto "head turners" often get out of alignment after prolonged use. This is NOT a machine for a non-techie who just wants to close the cassette door and record (remember, no auto level). This is a manchine for those who understand that not all sources are equal, and that you are attempting to record the best possible signal by having control of as many elements as possible. I do recommend this recorder if you can still find it. It is unfortunate that it is not a dual deck.
