The GX-630DB is one of models to be produced in the now famous GX line. It is an extremely well-made machine which benefited from years of production models that came before it.

Because of its 3 heads, 2 being Glass & Xtal Ferrite, it can reproduce tape with extreme clarity and stunning accuracy throughout entire frequency range. They are also some of the most durable heads ever made and last for decades with little to no degradation.

The GX-630DB is packed with innovative features which include EE Tape Compatibility. With the advent of high-performance Extra Efficiency (EE) tapes, it caused older reel-to-reel decks to be outdated. Auto reverse was made possible with 3 heads in the GX-630DB. Two of them are the renowned Akai GX heads - one for recording, one for forward playback. One of the stand-out performance qualities of the GX is its extremely accurate, stable tape travel with absolutely no contact errors. These heads, made from low noise, crystal ferrite and super hard glass, are incredibly durable. The DD capstan motor is extremely stable, maintaining perfect speed always, while keeping wow & flutter to a negligible level. It is rare even today to find such precision in a consumer grade product. When you listen, it is simply stunning how good this technology is...even today.
