I have an Akai GX95/2, bought it fully serviced and aligned a few years ago from Emporium HiFi in Norfolk, one of those bucket list items from my youth. I recently gave into temptation and bought another BL item, a Nakamichi CR7, I expected it to whack the Akai, it didn't, the Akai sounded as good with pre recorded tapes and made better recordings. I sold it on. A GX95/2 accurately set up is a match for pretty much anything.
Brilliant - gorgeous deck that I always hankered after - I remember when Hyper Fi was selling them for real deals. And Alex is an analogue genius - that's very clear on Tape Heads. Super demo - thanks!!
one of best recorders ever made, it can record better than a cd ..cds are 20khz and this deck can record up to 23khz using a metal tape, it is quartz direct for steady and accurate speed and also made with copper plate for noise shielding. I could not believe how well it records..I got 2 of them and sold all my naks and teac but still kept a sony es which is the rival of dragon in terms of recording and play back..
Excellent video! Really makes a strong case for the GX-95. By the way, I recently joined TH's (screen name: StandnHere). Perhaps we will run into each other on the discussion threads. Take it easy - Mike
Шикарно. Как это делали в 'акай' ну не пойму! Всегда чуть-чуть больше высоких. Но они просто уплавливаются в средних частотах. Басы- точно не история АКАЙ. Они звучат очень, с перебздением аккуратно и не подчеркиваются! Их можно поднять- но на AKAI их не выделить. Ну вот так они относились к понятию 'звук'. Потому, нынешние- российские, немецкие, китайские акаи к собственно той японской марке не имеют абсолютно никакого отношения.
I have the same deck and purchased from Hyper-Fi in Barking for approx. £220 in 1992 - don't use it much now but what engineering, not seen the like of it these days.

used to play tapes all through growing up in the Eighties, I wore most of my favourite tape out. Taping the top 40 every Sunday.

Akai gx -95 mk2 ha un suono eccellente tridimensionale, completo, con una gamma alta nitida e cristallina!

very good Akai deck, i have it to, the Sony K970ES is a bit better, also better build, but i like them both
hmm heerlijk deck, alleen lijkt het alsof op de 75mk2 en de 95mk2 iets bezuinigd was op de kwaliteit,. qua bouw en kunstoffen
