Short description[edit]

This is an attempt to list the legendary cassette decks of all time. E.g. Nakamichi DRAGON and Pioneer CT-95.

Limitation

  • Please no more than a maximum of four top cassette decks per manufacturer and under 0.025% synchronicity variation.
  • Elcaset cassette decks are allowed.

Definition

As high-end devices, also "state of the art" - cassette decks are listed at Hifi-Wiki, which have synchronization fluctuations of 0.025% and less. The recording and playback of such devices have the claim to reproduce music at the original of the artist and the sound master.

Data[edit]

Smoothness in WRMS[edit]

Professional cassette decks in the 80's were able to achieve synchronization fluctuations around 0.02%, which was called no longer audible.

Simple cassette decks reached values around 0.08% WRMS, which is still audible in some situations.

Real high-end cassette decks managed to get closer to the magic 0.02% mark and some, like the Dragon, even slightly below.

Soundheads[edit]

Head types:

  • F&F = ferrite & ferrites (Sony).
  • GF = nearly wearless glass ferrite sound heads (Akai)
  • S&F = Sendust & Ferrite (harman/kardon, Revox, Sony)
  • SD = Sendust (Sony, Onkyo, Yamaha)
  • LA = Laser Amorphous (Sony)
  • AC = Amorphous Cobalt - consisting of 14 layers (TEAC)
  • F = Ferrite head - double gap (Onkyo, Yamaha)
  • HP = Hard Permalloy head (Yamaha)
