this was my first pioneer cassette deck with the insert of the cassette in the midle , with BASF cassettes it gave the message error in the begining of the super auto ble, in the manual said "do not use basf cassettes" but they were right i put out of tune and made a CT-959 restored recentelly without the capacity of calibrate other cassettes than the basf that were very heavy on rotation or demanding a lot of the engine to roll them inside the deck this when using 7 basf super II ,some 12 BASF maxima II and two MaximaIV but with it´s casing in grey and bordeux, anyway this deck i recorded there a lot of tdk sa-x and UX-pro from sony and today they sound great in mty CT-93 or anyother pioneer cassette deck
i have at least 10 cassettes recorded in this deck and they sound incredible good on a ct-959, i trade it with a mint bmw 2002 from 75 in light blue metalized it had been totally restored in 85 ,this were early 90´s, later i bought the 630S because i wanted a deck with flex ,it was much better than play trim on yamaha and nad decks, . when driving this old bmw that i had 7 the kids on a camping , from germany would gather around the car and asked me if it was really a bmw, i put one inside and made him translate what was written on the dash who was minimalist but had everything a very thought about design and a very low driving like if it was a sport car ,most of them given to me by it´s owners ,due to it´s high gasoline comsumption and they knew i had old cars looking new mainly mercedes, bmw´s ,lancia´s and alfa-romeu´s , today gasoline price is incredible high and the car i bought more recent diesel a E350, 2016 spends a month what i would put every week on the perfectelly tuned 2002 and disel is almost the same price as gasoline today ,i had a w114 with a 220D engine , 2.197 cc.´s from 74 and i used to spend less than 5€ to make the same kms every month this in 93, sorry i drift away from the original matter but this decks were critised by many only to discover they were using less good engines but exactelly the same as technics since 1980
Das yamaha ist nicht übersteuert! Die Pegelkalibrierung ist da anders! Repariere und Kalibriere selber Kassettendecks. Habe als Gartenabspieler das kx-360 und nehme mit Pioneer ct-s620 auf. Das kx ist um die 2db laut Anzeige mehr. Da liegt der 0db Pegel anders. Habe 2 Pioneer ct-s620, 1x kx-360, 1x kx-530, 1x Denon dr-m11 und dual c-816. Alle, bis auf die Pioneers mit unterschiedlichen Aussteuerungen.
