Yamaha KX-930 Cassette Deck & Trance Music On Maxell Tape

One deck I haven't showed much-this is my Yamaha KX-930 three head cassette deck playing some Trance music. The cassette tape used is a 1988 vintage Maxell XLII-S C-100. The tape was recorded using Dolby C Noise Reduction and the input set to about 0dB. No question the deck and tape could handle more, but this is just to show how it sounds. Note the amber meter light bar and red LED counter. Very nice color combo. The door cover that slides over where the tape goes was intentionally removed for this filming to provide easier viewing of the tape in motion. The music might be digital electronic but it always sound better on tape.

This is one very nice cassette deck! Can you tell me if the recordings made on this Yamaha sound good on other decks?

It's very hit and miss. Depends on the other deck. Some tapes do, others don't. There is no one-size-fits-all answer.

Nice tape deck :D I have KX-300 5/5

[X2000R]

It's a great deck. My only complaint with it is that it doesn't seem to play tapes made on other machines very well, even when using the play trim. But on its own, it's an awesome unit.

na minha opiniao os tape decks yamaha sao os melhores, eu tenho um kx-300, ele grava muito com qualidade de cd, fora o dolby c dele que uma coisa fora do comum, otimo deck esse tb deve gravar a mesma coisa, eu recomendo, decks yamaha, sao os melhores

I've got those Maxell tapes same as this one, 20 of them wrapped brand new . I used to mix tracks and record it but I get bored after 12 mins so... btw quality of sound is better than my MP3 Creative MuVo V200 . weird weird analog vs digital ..

what's the name of a song?

[angelodagnolo]

Aiwa's and for those who can afford them Nakamichi's are by far the best tape machines out there. I own a ADF800 and the newer ADF850 and these machines record very, very well indeed. MP3's are a total waste of time. Analog forever!

Nice tape deck. I the yamaha KX-500U. I think it was made in 1989. It has no auto reverse and It sound really good back in the day when using maxell tapes XL2-S90. Hey where's your cover?

I have a KX-500. Bought in 1988 for £210 plus £10 for the remote. It doesn't have all the features of the KX-930 but was seen to be a very good deck in '88.
