Discontinued but still much sought after. Built like a tank. Lots of metal - weights over 10 kg. The heads are positioned electromagnetically (by powerful solenoid). My unit is about 20 years old and most likely will serve another 20 years or more. Good ergonomics; not in many decks is this easy to load a cassette. Retrofit kits for B710 MK I and B710 MK II has been available, if you want to use them with infrared remote controller B201 (or compatible). I gave 5 stars because it was not possible to give 4,5 stars. 4,5 would be closer to truth, since there is some better decks from Revox, Nakamichi and Tandberg. Nevertheless, after all these years, this unit is still nice sounding and reliable piece of equipment. |
