Description from the seller

Hello and thank you for your interest in this legendary turntable, a flagship model of the Pioneer range, a truly exceptional model and the technological pinnacle of Pioneer!
It competes with the best Nakamichi Dragon, ZXL, Tandberg TCD 3004, Revox B215. I am parting with this exceptional high-end turntable.
If you are reading this ad, it means you did not come here by chance. You know the intrinsic value as well as the market value of this device. Otherwise, please check the prices online.
One of the most elegant cassette decks of the latest generation and one of the few Pioneers to feature such robust construction. The ultimate reference, a true benchmark for Nakamichi Dragon enthusiasts.
Aesthetically, it is in excellent condition, with no scratches or any impact, impeccable and like new. Its technical performance is also flawless. I am the second owner, having owned it for over ten years, always maintained in a non-smoking environment. It has always been used with great care.
In perfect working condition, serviced by a professional. No crackling in the buttons, nor any disturbance whatsoever during playback or recording-playback.
What has been accomplished
Removal of belt residues and replacement with new original belts of the brand.
Lubrication of the main and secondary engines with professional original products, and general lubrication of moving mechanical parts.
Cleaning and demagnetization of the heads.
Verification of the scrolling speed on the standard cassette (3 KHz).
Features:
-3 Sendust amorphous heads (the best and guaranteed for life), motorized cassette compartment opening and electric tape loading mechanism, double capstan (ideal for optimal tape guidance*), headphone jack, automatic tape type selection (Normal, FeR, Chrome, Metal), Dolby NR Types B, C & S, HX-Pro, adjustable recording levels, fully automatic tape alignment system 'SUPER BLE', etc..
Regarding this, it is important to remember that before using any cassette deck, you should systematically wind and rewind the cassette to maintain a consistent and perfect tension of the tape in each of its sections. Even if this deck has a detection system that automatically stops the tape, it is important to mention it because for optimal and long-lasting use of your equipment, you should not use generic cassettes if you care about your recordings and want to enjoy them anew each time.
Sinon:
Type: 3-head, single compact cassette deck.
Track system: 4 tracks, 2-channel stereo.
Tape Speed: 4.75 cm/s
Heads: 1 record, 1 play, playback, 1 erase.
Motor: 1 reel, 2 capstans, 1 auxiliary,
Tape Type: Type I Normal, Type II Chrome O2, Type III Fe-Cr, Type IV Metal.
Noise Reduction: B, C & S.
Headroom Extension: HX Pro,
Frequency Response: 10 Hz (!) to 30 kHz (!) (Metal Tape)
Signal to Noise Ratio: 86dB (Dolby S)
Wow and Flutter: 0.022%.
Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.6%
95 mV (line)
Output: 0.5V (line)
Regarding the dynamics of the sound plane, some say it surpasses the Nakamichi Dragon thanks to its amorphous heads. The alignment, which is fully automatic, is of extreme precision. Its restitution is breathtaking.
Dimensions: width 44 cm, depth 37.5 cm, height 14.4 cm.
Weight: 8.6 kgs.
Electrical consumption: 29 watts.
Color: Champagne.
A perfectly readable manual is provided (42 pages in English / French), along with two CR II Chrome tapes and two Metal tapes in perfect condition.
The price is justified considering the careful maintenance of this watch, as well as its perfect functioning and aesthetic quality.
The shipment will be made in secure packaging, with polystyrene and bubble wrap.
To establish the absolute trust necessary for such an acquisition, I propose to send you any videos at your convenience to prove my statements. If you have any questions, please provide your email address, and I will send you the appropriate video files, covering basic functions (playback, Rw, Fwd, etc.), as well as recording and playback using manual settings like the automatic B.L.E.S. function. Thank you for your interest.
