Akai GX-636

The GX-636 is one of the gems of AKAI’s decorated past. It is a highly sophisticated deck built at the height of open reel popularity. It was introduced in 1981 with an original selling price of over $1,300.00. The GX-636 is one of the latest entries in the GX series, greatly benefiting from the many generations of progressing technology. Today the GX-636 is a favorite of audiophiles and collectors, not only for its outstanding sound abilities but also for its time-proven reputation of dependability and durability. Its design is low stress and straight forward, the motors are high-grade, and GX heads are down-right indestructible. Most decks have a tendency to develop annoying, and sometime serious, time-related problems, the GX-636 does not. It ages extraordinarily well.Sonically the GX-636 is amongst the finest performing tape decks around. It reproduces and records with all the acoustic detail and genuineness that the ¼” tape format offers. It has a sonic portrayal that is superior in the eyes, and ears, of many experienced recordist and audiophiles, to today’s current digital formats.
