Technics RS-B505 Stereo Cassette Deck – Vintage Class AA & HX Pro – Japan (1988)
Experience the golden age of analog audio with this beautiful Technics RS-B505 Stereo Cassette Deck.
This iconic deck, produced in Japan (1988-1989) by the legendary Matsushita, is an absolute must-have for both the serious audiophile and the lover of vintage hi-fi aesthetics.
Technics was at the absolute peak of its innovation during this period, and you can hear and see it in this device.
Audiophile Technology on board:
This deck is equipped with Technics’ highly regarded Class AA Recording Amplifier.
These unique circuits ensure an extremely pure and dynamic signal transfer, free of distortion. Combined with Dolby B/C noise reduction and the HX Pro Headroom Extension system, this deck truly gets the most out of every cassette tape.
Your recordings and playback will sound fuller, brighter, and with impressively detailed high frequencies.
Design & Build Quality:
With its sleek, asymmetrical ’80s front panel, the iconic two-tone FL peak meter needles, and the smooth microprocessor-controlled logical operation (2-motor transport), this device exudes pure Japanese top quality.
Specifications:
Type: 2-head, single compact cassette deck
Speed: 4.8 cm/s
Heads: 1 x record/play, 1 x erase
Tape Type: Type I (Ferr o), CrO2 (Chrome), Metal

Noise Reduction: Dolby B, C, HX Pro
Frequency Range: 30 Hz to 17 kHz (Metal tape)
Dimensions: 430 x 115 x 287 mm
Weight: 4.3 kg (net)
Condition:
This unit is in superb optical and mechanical condition (see photos for an accurate impression). The front panel is very nicely preserved and the display remains bright and sharp.
A fantastic lot that is ready to shine directly in your audio setup!
Given the enormous resurgence of cassette tapes, this is not only a fantastic expansion of your audio system but also a solid investment.
Will be packed with extreme care and professionally for safe shipping.
