Tape decks: locally available choices?
Hello friends:
Can someone suggest a new tape deck that meets the following criteria (besides the obvious one of being available in India below 20K): 1) Good frequency response (at least 18KHz at the top end w/ normal tape) 2) Single tape well, three head, no auto reverse 3) Reasonably sturdy with good build quality I have a feeling that Yamaha and Technics may have some products fitting the above criteria. If someone can provide dealer/ distributor contacts, that would be much appreciated. Regards, Persiflage

The other options are Onkyo or Sony. You most probably get a 3 head cassete deck in the grey market. I have heard that in Heera Panna, Mumbai there is a specialist hi-fi shop that can procure it for you.

You may want to take a look at the Denon DRW-695 which sells for about 19k: http://www.denon.com.hk/product/cons...tail.php?id=37 I doubt it meets your criteria (its a double for starters) but check it out. Dealers are Pro-fx in India (www.profx.com)

Re: Tape decks: locally available choices?
Thanks both very much for your suggestions - will definitely study these. I should have mentioned that quality of sound output is the paramount consideration because I need to archive my collection built over 20 years (1500+ tapes) before it crumbles into nothingness.
BTW I spoke to a Yamaha distributor at the Times AV Revolution (held in Delhi recently) - if he's to be believed, Yamaha tape decks have been discontinued in India and there isn't one to be had for love or money! In which case, I suppose one should get the Denon (or something in the same class) while one can. The Denon UK site lists the DRW-695 and other tape decks under discontinued items. Jagat: would it be possible to procure the reference of the Heera Panna shop?
