Top of Line Discrete 3-Head Cassette Deck -1990

Nakamichi DR-10 Legendary Nakamichi cassette deck performance, featuring matchless Discrete 3-Head technology, unique high-precision transport. Discrete 3-Head delivers astonishing sonic quality, producing recordings that are virtually indistinguishable from the original. Unlike typical “sandwich” or combination heads, the record and play head gaps are independently aligned, assuring extended frequency response and wide dynamic range. Combined with the proprietary precision-laminated Crystalloid record and play heads. Asymmetrical Dual-Capstan innovative tape transport.

Other Advanced Features
Integrated play head/amplifier assembly places the playback circuitry right at the head assembly to minimize signal degradation • DC servo capstan motor responds instantaneously to load fluctuations, further suppressing flutter components • Motor-operated, microprocessor-controlled Silent Mechanism assures smooth, quiet, foolproof transport operation  •  Bias fine-tune control enables you to adjust for variations among tape brands and formulations to achieve flat frequency response every time  • Bi-directional auto-search feature seeks the “zero” counter position in rewind or fast- forward  •  Automatic tape slack take-up mechanism winds any loose tape fully onto the hubs as soon as you insert a cassette  • Dolby B and C type noise reduction circuits are incorporated.
