![]() I considered that Ion Cassette 2 PC thing they make but something tells me the deck is going to be cheaply made and I'd be better off using audio line outs with a quality deck rather than USB with a cheap one.Īlso please keep in mind I don't need a dual tape deck since I will not be making copies. I really appreciate any input you guys can give me. I also heard 3 head players are what to look out for but since I am not using the recording function, just the playback, I'd also like to know how much that means to me. ![]() I am assuming I will have to go the ebay route, but if I can head to Best Buy or Circuit City that's fine too. I also can't have this break my bank since I am doing this for free I need to spend less than $150 or so. Anyway, I read so much stuff about capscans (sp?) and Dolby HX and other terms I never heard before agreeing to do this. I am going to use the RCA out of the deck into my PC to capture the sound, and I can then check out some good programs to fix up the quality a bit. I was wondering what to look for in regards to the best sound quality possible (without costing me a fortune). These are tapes of songs that never made it anywhere else but cassette. This is not a situation where I am too cheap to buy old albums on CD or MP3. The unit is in working order at the time of this ad and at the time of shipping.I am working on a project where I will be taking cassettes and putting them on CDs. Due to the age of the unit there is no warranty. NOTE: Shipping costs are an estimate and subject to change depending on the purchasers location. Sale includes the Denon DRS-810 (pictured) but does not include the anything else that may appear in the attached pictures. Motor: 1 x capstan, 1 x reel, 1 x actuatorįrequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz (Metal tape) Heads: record/playback combination, 1 x erase Type: 3-head, single compact cassette deck The sound of recordings made using the 810 are very clear and well balanced. It has Dolby B and C, dynamic bias - HX-Pro, MPX filter, and a return to the start of recording, search by pauses and timer. Like in the most of cassette decks from Denon, the 810 has an output level control, which regulates the level on a linear output and on headphones at the same time. The display looks great all elements of indication vary conveniently, colour palette is pleasing for the eye, the counter shows the real time and can indicate the rest up to the end of a cassette. For example, the magnetic-tape mechanism has a closed path and three heads. But when you look inside this unit and go more in depth you find out lots of significant differences and advantages over the DRS-640. The major difference is the bottom row of control elements are moved under a nice cover. Externally DRS-810 looks like DRS-640: all buttons, knobs and indications are of the same sizes, types and layout. Yes, there is the similarity, but the benefit of such an arm is undeniable in aligning the tape to the heads. When loading a tape in the tray it glides smoothly and is affixed rigidly and accurately on the basis of a pressure arm like that found in a CD drive. Not the entire mechanism, but only a special tray goes out to load. The device differs from typical cassette decks by horizontal location of the magnetic-tape mechanism. There is some scratches on the top panel from when it was in a stack of Denon equipment.įeatures of the Denon DRS-810 include a close-loop dual-capstan tape transport, non-slip reel drive, dual power supply, 3-head, 4-motor, dolby HX pro, dolby B and C noise reduction and manual bias adjustment. This Denon unit is in great shape and the mechanism functions perfectly. The unit has been serviced, heads cleaned and unit fully tested. The tape deck that looks like a CD player with it's motorized door and super smooth and solid tape transport to reduce wow and flutter.
