Sony TC-K700ES
First of the new series of ES cassette recorders, with a long line of perfected siblings to come - all very successful. Separated and twin-mono record and play boards, LC-OFC Laser Amorphous heads, closed-Loop dual capstan with Quartz-locked DD drive, separate compartments for the drive, control and audio sections, all the bells and whistles of 1980s decks, dual Dolby IC and a power transformer worthy of a powerful integrated amplifier. All this and more made for a worldwide bestseller. Like all of Sony's top recorders, whether old (TC-K8B, TC-FX7, TC-K88B) or newer (TC-K777, TC-K777ES, TC-K990ES, TC-K555ESJ, TC-KA7ES) - never forget that Sony's first successes came from tape products and it remained so for more than 40 years, in both professional and consumer fields!
