    Here's my latest acquisition:

    [GALLERY=media, 164]AIWA Deck XK-S9000 by walkman archive posted Dec 11, 2016 at 7:35 PM[/GALLERY]

    It sounds great and looks better. The only problem is in the background, because it has two big transformers and didn't let me fit into its place, so I had to do some modding... which I'll explain soon ;-)

    Well, that's difficult to say. I bet much better than the stock B965, but my highly upgraded B965 (by ANT) clearly wins in terms of linearity of the recordings. It has a completely flat response, lows-to-highs. Flatter than any other deck I've tested so far.
    The AIWA, however, plays the tapes astonishingly well. But the recordings tend to go to the bright side...

    I like the size of the symbols and font, it's crisp and classy.

    Is there any other nice deck that you haven't acquired yet?
    This is not fair that you got all the good ones ;)
    anyway, congratulation, This Aiwa looks amazing. I hope to find one like this. does it come in other colors?

    Haha. Well, I bet there aren't many left now. I focused on the best ones.
    I recently was offered a Pioneer CT-93 but it has the screen not working, so I have to check if it's an easy problem or not, before buying...
