AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction is a high-performance Marantz SD-63 Stereo Cassette Deck.

This is a highly desirable model for analog enthusiasts, featuring a 3-Head architecture which allows for off-tape monitoring (listening to the recording as it is being made) and superior audio quality compared to standard 2-head decks.

The unit features the classic Marantz black satin finish and a sharp, clear VFD display. It is equipped with advanced features like Dolby HX Pro for extended high-frequency response and a Fine Bias adjustment knob to perfectly calibrate recordings for different tape formulations.

Key Features:

3-Head System: Discrete configuration for Record, Playback, and Erase, offering superior sonic fidelity.

Dolby B & C Noise Reduction: Reduces tape hiss significantly for clean playback.

Dolby HX Pro: Headroom Extension system for better high-frequency dynamics.

Fine Bias Control: Allows the user to fine-tune the recording bias for optimal performance with any tape type (Normal, CrO2, Metal).

MPX Filter: Switchable filter for recording from FM stereo sources.

DC Servo Controlled Motor: Ensures stable tape speed and low wow & flutter.

Condition:

Visual: Excellent vintage condition. The faceplate is clean with very sharp lettering. The casing shows minimal signs of use consistent with age (please see photos). The display is bright and fully legible.

Technical: The device powers on, the display works perfectly (as seen in photos), and the mechanism is clean and well-maintained. The interior components are original and in good condition.
