Very good Mechanics
Audio 2/1989: Winner of the test is 80 points = top class "4 ears"
had a Clean separation between the Analog Board of the signal part and the drive control by horizontally split double case
GX-75 a synchronization problems between the right and left, GX-75 Mk II
CD-Direct-input for higher level of CD players therefore, extremely clean sound without gain reduction
No remote control as standard (GX-95 standard supplied)
GX-75 without extra pressure plate in the cassette compartment (against cassettes vibration)
GX-75 MKII, with a pressure plate in the cassette compartment
Play speed, you can long Press the Play button to 50% off. Advantage: exact cutting out of e.g. radio speakers by A-B marking, the offset of the deletion, recording and playback head is automatically taken into account!
