The main features of the TEAC Z-5000 are: 3 heads and off-tape monitoring, digital linear tape counter with 4 digits and memory stop, manual tape type selection and capable of handling normal. Bias fine tuning is another great feature, again if you're still making recordings, as I always found slight bias differences in the tape formulations of Denon, Fuji, TDK, and Maxell. This TEAC Z-5000 is a stereo cassette deck with Dolby B and C and DBX noise reduction, it was first sold by TEAC in 1983 with a list price of USD 1,000. The center-well design, amber lighting and the clean front panel look great, with a multi-mode tape counter and RTZ return to zero function that speeds up finding a specific point in the tape and determining remaining time. This is a large unit by early 90's standards, more akin to the late 70's chassis, so it really has a tendency to stand out in your audio rack, which isn't a bad thing at all. I purchased mine new in 1991 and it is still my go-to deck for both recording and playback, not that I do much recording these days. Of all the decks I have owned since the late '70's, the V-3000 is my personal favorite for both its excellent performance and its great aesthetics. The 3-head design is obviously a must-have, while dual cassette wells, auto-reverse and track search are the must NOT haves.

For cassette freaks, the great decks are defined as much by what they DON'T have as what they DO have.
