Denon DRM-800A 3 Head Audiophile Grade Top of the line cassette deck 1991 - 1993 With original box and manual

Fully serviced and calibrated (see photos)

Top of the line denon from 1991, has top spec features like 3 head, closed loop dual capstan, overbuilt and over spec cassette mechanism, Dolby B/C/HX Pro, Amorphous Head (Glass, impossible to magnetize, ultra hard), CCCS (Perfect cassette placement), Dual inputs, Full logic, remote input, Ultra large, super wide range meters, etc

Display brightness is in my opinion, 9/10 near new, it seems like it was wasn't used much (bright display, not dim)

Fully working, for condition see photos

(Note knobs pots have slight crackle when turned, fine once set)

RCA input, RCA CD input, RCA output (variable), Headphones output, (variable), denon remote input (wire)

  • checked belts and pinch roller, all ok
  • Solder joints checked/fixed
  • Capacitors checked, ok due to highest quality
  • Heads/cassette mech cleaned
  • Fully calibrated, playback and record, (TDK D60)
  • Knob pots cleaned best I could (without taking them apart)
  • Fully cleaned
  • Safety tested
  • Tested for hours on playback and record
  • Functions checked, Performance checked, ok

Awesome 3 Head deck from denon, enjoyable to use with large fast meters, sound quality is 9/10 (10 being nakamichi dragon), hard to get much better sound quality than this, wow and flutter is ultra low compared to alot of late 3 head decks, Glass heads so never need to worry about them.

  • Please note there is one flaw with these: the rca jack shields come off to easily, I recommend short extension cables

selling due to only needing one good 3 head deck for testing etc
