Akai GX77 Reel to Reel Analogue Love

Hope your all well, here we have a Akai GX77 reel to reel tape machine its a beauty it transforms music into analogue tape smoothness. Produced around 1981 to 1985 this is a classic. Heres some info: The Akai GX-77 is an open-reel deck designed to use both conventional and the new EE (Extra Efficiency) chrome-type tapes. A two-speed (7-1/2 and 3-3/4 inches per second), 7-inch-reel machine, the GX-77 is capable of bidirectional recording and playback. The basic advantage of the new EE tapes (currently available from TDK, Maxell, and BASF) is that, when used with recorders designed for them, performance previously attainable only at 7-1/2 ips can be achieved at 3-3/4 ips. The formulation thus makes it possible to provide an uninterrupted 90-minute playing time (twice that of a C-90 cassette) with a standard 1,800-foot 7-inch reel and, further, an increase in the potential signal-to-noise ratio. The EE tapes, however, require increased bias and departure from the standard playback equalization. A switch on the GX-77 selects the proper parameters for either conventional or EE formulations, and a control permits a ± 30 per cent bias variation to compensate for brand-to-brand tape differences. No internal audio generator is provided to facilitate bias adjustment, though the owner's manual suggests recommended settings for a number of different tape brands and types.
