- themusicnation (1918)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseItem was sold as-is, untested, and for parts. I offered it dirt cheap. I do not care if the pots needed cleaning. If you wanted an item that worked flawlessly, then go out and buy a new one. Listing what it needed on my feedback for it to be flawless was not cool. Furthermore, I offered you your money back plus all shipping both directions plus $10. You said no. This is totally uncool. Furthermore, you have left 9 negative feedbacks in 134 transactions. Maybe you should shop at Amazon instead.Reply from: vintage_stereo- Feedback replied by buyer.- Feedback replied by buyer.I always leave a feedback based on honesty and sincerity. It may be an A + or a F- sorry but a grade is given based on received condition of a given product.

Akai GX F90
One of the best vintage cassette decks ever built for quality, sound, playback and recording.
The Akai GX-F90 is a three head, stereo cassette recorder with Super GX playback and record heads, suitable for use with standard Ferric, Chrome and Metal tapes. The GX heads are famously known to last a lifetime. The GX-F90 is a modern mid-end two-motor, three-head recorder, modern because of the new Super-GX heads and the Type IV (metal) tape compatibility.
Super GX heads are a combo of two GX heads mounted in the same block for super short signal path with a combined PCB for both rec and play heads.
Behind the glass of the Super GX casing is ferrite with 4u gap for recording and 1u gap for playback.
The capstan motor is a brushless FG DC servo with three Hall elements ; it is named BLM-100 and was also used in the GX-F95 monster. I don't know who made it for Akai.
The reel motor is a simple DC.
The IPLS feature, Instant Program Location System, is a one-stop memory mark used to access the end or beginning of a track - with the use of the counter's 000 position - not yet full programmability :)
The ADR mode is Akai's own automatic limiter which acts automatically to avoid distortion in relation to frequency and input level ; a 400Hz calibration tone is also at hand, alongwith an MPX filter.
The 24-segment meters ca be switched from VU to Peak, with 7dB difference between the two modes.
The Rec Cancel function is a bit like today's "undo" : if you find you engaged REC too late, pressing stop, then Rec Cancel brings the tape immediately back to before you hit REC too late.
This, however, probably works with a give-or-take location precision :)
Tape selection is manual but includes LH, LN, CrO2 and Metal ; old-style REC Cal potentiometers are provided - screw-driver necessary.
I owned 2 of these units it is for every audiophile!

The Best Boombox ever
4 of 4 found this helpful It is the best boombox ever! Sound is clear with optional extra bass which is nice sometimes. Aux is powerful when used with smart phone! Must have remote control to operate some of the extra features not available otherwise. I listen to it everyday! It is compact yet sound is amazing. It will blow you away! This boombox has a surround sound with 6 speakers total. Tape, CD, radio +aux! Motorized cassette decks and cobra top lcd panel. I owned over 60 boomboxes so far and believe me when i say sound wise it is the best!
