Description
This fantastic looking and sounding NAD Monitor Series cassette deck is from the heyday of the cassette as a serious Hi-Fi medium. Manufacturers in the 1980s and 1990s put a huge effort into making the very best equipment possible. These days, it’s impossible to buy a new cassette deck with a comparable specification - companies have stopped manufacturing high-quality mechanisms and Dolby no longer licences their noise reduction and headroom extension systems for cassette tapes. Durham Audio Ltd are members of the eBay pre-qualified refurbished seller programme. Everything we sell that is listed as refurbished is carefully tested for operational performance and electrical safety and comes with free fast UK postage via Royal Mail Tracked 24 as well as a 30-day free returns policy and a 12-month warranty for UK-based buyers. This is a superb example of the 6430 that has been carefully serviced and tested. As well as fantastic styling, in keeping with the usual NAD minimalistic look, it is packed with advanced electronics and has an impressive feature set, highlights of which include:-Dolby B & C noise reduction and HX Pro headroom extension-DYNEQ (from Tandberg Audio) -NAD’s Play Trim feature – for adjusting playback frequency response- ‘CAR’ mode dynamic range compression for recording-MPX filter for making off-air recordings of FM stereo-Tape type selection for bias and EQ-Full logic control-Two quiet DC motors & belt driven balanced flywheel The 6340 has received some phenomenal reviews. On a quick Google search, it was hard to find anything but the highest praise for this deck. One forum reviewer described the sound as “Spectacular room and space with brutal deep and hardest bass...... A nice floating of the music in the midrange with nice and never harsh sounding highs”. A Hi-Fi Classic reviewer commented in their concluding remarks “…a music lover will be mightily impressed by the Model 6340. Its frequency-response and imaging characteristics were superb.”. This deck includes NAD’s unique ‘Play Trim’ and ‘DYNEQ’ features. Play Trim works like a subtle treble tone control, changing characteristics of the equalisation circuit during playback. It is intended to boost or lower the level of high frequency sounds to compensate for music that has been recorded on another deck, with incorrect bias setting or to correct for azimuth misalignment between two machines. This is a really nicely implemented control - it changes the sound subtly and is very usable for bringing recordings to life. DYNEQ varies the record equalisation to prevent over saturation when strong high frequency transients occur. This 6340 has been serviced, including fitting a brand-new drive belt. We use high quality belts from a specialist supplier, which match the original factory specification and perform superbly. The electrical alignment has been checked, using a test cassette, oscilloscope, signal generator and external level meters. This process includes setting the recording levels, playback levels, meter calibration, bias and tape speed. The tape transport has been checked, cleaned and demagnetised. All rubber parts have been cleaned and treated with Rubber Renue, which restores them to their original specification and performance. Cosmetically, this machine is in very good condition. The fascia is excellent, with only minor signs of use, the LED display is clear and bright, and everything looks and feels as it should. There is a some light surface scuffing on the cassette, door, but thats the only significant imperfection. The case and lid are in excellent shape, with just the odd minor surface mark. Overall it is a testament to the care taken by its previous owner. Please take a look at the pictures for a more detailed view of the condition. A high resolution printed copy of the owner’s manual is included, which is in excellent condition. It will be very carefully packed, and we usually ship out same or next day. Please check our feedback, and if you have any questions - just ask.
