Sansui D-705 (1986)

 

The Sansui D-705 is a Dual-Capstan Cassette Deck with Three Heads. Introduced in 1986 it was the top-of-the-line model. It's solidly built to prevent vibrations from affecting sound quality. Two capstans, each anchored to a heavy flywheel, operate in a closed-loop system, ensuring consistent tape tension, reducing wow and flutter to an admirable 0.035% or less and virtually eliminating modulation noise. The three-head design allows for off-tape monitoring, essential for accurate recording. Add to these superb features a whole host of other advanced electronic and practical features, and you'll understand why we call it a marvel of performance.
