Quite typical failure of mid frequencies (from 2 to 7 kHz) attracts attention, although its level is small - not more than 2dB. There is nothing surprising taking stable characteristics and a good repeatability of modern magnetic tapes into account. Someone will find it uncomfortable, but using two counters at the same time happens rarely and design looks better.ĭespite of the lack of automatic calibrator of tape types in Denon, AFC, recorded at the nominal speed, is linear. The counter, by the way, is single four-digit into two decks and is switched by the knob. There is a manual setting of bias with the fixation in the 'standard' position and the phone amplifier, Synchro CD input and the receiver for the remote control. Noise dampers Dolby B and C, the system of dynamic bias HX-Pro, search of fragments by pauses (Music Search), rewind to zero of the counter. Let's us list, so to speak, the equipment of the devise in a one line. By capabilities 660th can be confidently refered to the strong middle group. Like in most devices Denon has one and very spacious plate inside and two simple single-engine tape-moving mechanisms. And relatively to ergonomics I want to emphasize quite a comfortable control keyboard of DRW-660. An amazing effect of relief is created on the absolutely flat faceplate I mean that the aim, for which the others remove bevels and make grooves or ledges, is achieved here per se. This is a beautiful device with perfect ergonomics and interesting design.
