Reports

• No matter if in silver or black, it just had a dreamlike sound.
• Nice was also the possibility to calibrate cassettes manually or automatically.
• For me there was no alternative purchase decision at that time.

Drive and remaining processing were überdurchscnittlich good. One would have had to spend more money to land in the Esprit series.
