Sony TC-K890ES 3-Head Cassette Deck Built for Serious for sale in Candler, NC
For the serious cassette performance enthusiast, or for the Sony ES series audio component collector, here is a tested, perfectly performing Sony TC-K890ES 3-head cassette deck. Other performance features include closed-loop dual capstan drive, defeatable HX Pro dynamic bias control, tape calibration system with built-in test tones, adjustable record bias, and selectable record equalization for different tape formulations. A 3-head deck provides separate erase, record, and play heads, allowing for optimization of head gap widths for each function, also allowing monitoring Play from the tape while Record mode is ongoing. You know what you're getting with the settings you've made, and you can hear instantly while recording the results of any setting changes you may make. Note the cassette well resonance-dampening material lining the inside front surface of the carriage assembly in my photo of the clean heads and transport parts. I have cleaned the tape path, the heads, capstans, and pressure rollers and made a test recording. The off-the-tape sound matches the input in quality and high frequency balance, as it should. Meters and controls are properly calibrated. The motorized tape loading is "smooth as silk". Fast Forward and Rewind modes engage and operate properly, and auto-shutoff at end of tape works properly in all transport modes. This deck does also have a convenience feature of Auto Music Search (AMS), allowing search forward or reverse for the beginning or end of a song, stopping and going into play at the blank segment between music segments. This is a 15 lb sturdily built serious recording machine that will be rewarding to display and to use. Prompt, insured shipment will be provided by economical FedEx ground service, the cost calculated by ebay for your delivery address.
