The GX-260D is the result of an extensive study to produce the best all-round tape deck possible within a reasonable price range. A complete success, the GX-260D features AKAI's world priced GX Heads for reverse recording and playback, and a unique center capstan drive system for friction-free tape travel and reduced wow and flutter. Put the GX-260D to any test you like. You'll find that it is completely unapproachable by any other make or model.
