The JVC-KD10 is a very good sounding vintage cassette deck. With the two large backlit VU meters and the LED peak display on top of them it is also an absolute looker. So if you are after really good playback performance and the vintage look – this is a great pick!

Description
The KD-10 is priced even lower than other JVC decks, but still includes the following features: 5-LED Peak Indicator, a Timer Standby Facility, Automatic Input Selector, JVC’s electronic governor motor and more.
In line with other, more expensive decks, performance parameters – such as a high signal to noise ratio – guarantee long years of musical enjoyment.
The KD-10 is a high value, high performance deck at a budget cost.
