Summary: The days of great sounding cassette recordings are gone 2006-11-21
Comment: I bought this deck a week ago, exchanged it for another one, and my overall impression is that the quality of its recording capability is markedly inferior to my old Aiwa F770 deck, for which I cannot get replacement parts any longer. On the up side, this Denon deck plays my old tapes beautifuly, but its ability to record is markely inferior, with a noticeable degree of wow and flutter. For well recorded CD sources of string music like mandolins, the recordings it makes are barely listenable. For me the primarly utility of this Denon deck is to continue to have the ability to play old recordings, and to have a deck which seems well made and likely to last a while. CD and Flash memory recordings are so much better, that if I were you I'd think twice about buying any tape deck, unless you have a similar need to access old rare cassette recordings.

Summary: Denon DRW-585 Dual-Well Cassette Deck 2006-08-15
Comment: When my thirteen-year old NAD 6340 Stereo Cassette Deck slowly started wearing out, I decided to browse for another high-quality cassette deck.
I had searched through various internet websites and local electronic stores. With the popular usage of Compact Disc's and other digital media today, I knew that finding a good cassette deck would be a struggle. Many cassette decks simply aren't produced with the same quality and expectations of that from the late '80s and '90s. After a long search, I finally settled with the Denon DRW-585 Dual-Well Cassette Deck.
Upon using the product, I was pleasantly surprised. This deck provided a clean and clear smooth sound along with the warm sound of analog. Music actually sounded realistic and the way it was originally intended. The harshness and forcefulness of CD's was gone. I never thought that cassettes could sound this good!
Aside from the sound, this cassette deck has it's set of features. The Dolby Noise Reduction (B & C) is key to eliminating hiss and other annoying disturbances during playback. Also, the deck is equipped with Dolby HX Pro which further improves the dynamic range. The Dubbing system is vital for recording cassette to cassette. This system was very useful as I had tapes that I feared of losing due to tape length that I could recapture on shorter length tapes. The deck has a convienant Rec Pause button which is great for making mix tapes. The deck is also equipped with an Music Search System, MPX Filter, Relay and Auto Reverse.
I highly recommend the Denon DRW-585 Dual-Well Cassette Deck to anyone in search of a quality cassette deck. Although it can be a little pricey (two-hundred and up) regarding decks of today, the quality and durability is without question.
