Marantz - SD 6000 Cassette recorder-player
Marantz SD6000 – quality from the time when cassette was still king
Not everything gets better with time. Cassettes perhaps do. The Marantz SD6000 comes from a period when audio brands still installed thick aluminum front panels, performed functions with switches, and weight was considered a sign of quality. And you can feel that immediately when you touch it.
What makes this SD6000 special? It can record and play at two speeds. This was originally intended for better sound quality during recordings (or faster listening), but it mainly says something about how seriously this deck was taken by Marantz. This was not an entry-level model. This was equipment for people who truly listened to their recordings.
And that is possible again now. The display is sleek, the controls feel solid, and all buttons and meters do what they are supposed to do. The tone is warm but honest. Just as you would expect from a good cassette deck with character.
