JVC KD-85 stereo cassette deck You can always make a perfect recording with the JVC KD-85 stereo cassette deck. Damage of the tapes and the mechanism is also prevented. In addition, the JVC KD-85 is a beautiful machine to look at. It is a visual pleasure, a coup by JVC who, in addition to other extras, contains a Spectro Peak indicator. Superior specifications include a frequency response of 30 to 16,000 Hz with chrome tape, a signal-to-noise ratio of more than 56 dB with ANRS out and 0.05% wrms wow/flutter. These numbers are roughly similar to the parameters for the performance of an open coil. The KD-85 uses the best mechanism ever conceived for a cassette deck - the ID-mechanism with two motors. Two motors are used in this configuration to guarantee stable tape transport: a frequency generator servo motor for capstan drive and a DC motor for reel drive. Because each drive mechanism works independently and because the functioning of it is simplified, the KD-85 reaches a very, very low wow/flutter of less than 0.05% wrms. Works properly and has very small signs of wear.
