Summary[edit]
DescriptionMarantz SD-60 cassette deck 01.jpg |
English: Marantz SD-60 cassette deck, 1989 ([1]), also rebadged as the Philips FC-60 (1989) and Revox C115 (1990). At this points in time, Marantz was a Japanese subsidiary of Philips, and the Revox brand has just recently parted with Studer, soon to become a Harman subsidiary. The unit shown here was made for Japanese domestic market. It arrived in my hands in like-new condition, with very clean transport and low-mileage heads, and needed no mechanical adjustments. The deck came with massive cast-iron (yes!) side panels that are not shown here. Despite menacing looks, it's a well-built but otherwise mediocre, mid-fi product with lots of quirks and poor usability. Just look at diminutive, almost unusable transport control buttons and compare them with a genuine Swiss Revox in the bottom. Русский: Дека Marantz SD-60, 1989 года. Также производилась, с минимальными косметическими изменениями, под именами Philips FC-60 и Revox C115 (к этому времени торговая марка Revox ушла из-под контроля Studer в свободное плавание). На фото хорошо сохранившийся экземпляр с японского рынка, без накладных боковых панелей из литого чугуна (? ну в общем дюже тяжёлые). Средненькая по характеристикам, но крепко сработанная дека со множеством странностей и проколов по части юзабилити (в особенности неудобны крохотные кнопочки управления ЛПМ). |

Bias and level calibration dials are always desirable, but there's no calibration generator! The user was supposed to tweak by ear using FM static noise or music tracks.
Big deck, very small buttons. Huge usability failure. Just compare them to a Real Man's Deck visible below.
LED turns on if the cassette has write-protect tab removed. A very rare, but practical feature
Yet another rare feature: three sets of RCA line inputs. In theory, the deck can operate as a preamp.
Can't see the tape, period. Zoom in, and you'll see distorted outlines of cassette hubs, but not the tape.
"Cassette in" indicator is fine, but a cheap piece of clear plastic in cassette door will do even better.
