Verkaufe hier mein Akai GX 32 Kassetten-Deck. Es ist in einem sehr guten Zustand und funktioniert einwandfrei. Kann vorgeführt werden. Der Antriebsriemen scheint mal gewechselt worden zu sein ( nicht von mir ) - Kassetten spielen problemlos ab. Habe es mit dem kleinen Verstärker betrieben, welcher für die Größe aber sehr solide ist. Spezifikationen könnt Ihr ja alle googeln. Den Verstärker mit Kabel kann man für 25 € extra dazu erwerben.
Should you jump on this one at €90, or wait and risk paying more later? Against your own comp set, it lands below the €99 25th percentile, so this reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair.
That makes it interesting because this deck is well-liked for its GX heads and solid cassette performance when it’s healthy, and an excellent cosmetic listing at this level gives you room to absorb a little service cost if needed. If it plays cleanly, rewinds properly, and the heads are not visibly worn, this is the kind of used buy that makes sense for a fellow enthusiast rather than a speculator.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Akai Electric Company Ltd. traces its origins to Japan, founded by engineer Masukichi Akai in Tokyo around 1929, with his son Saburo Akai playing a key role in its early growth. Initially focused on affordable radio components, the firm formalized as a full electronics manufacturer post-World War II, often cited as 1946. By the mid-20th century, Akai had evolved into a prominent name in consumer audio, peaking in the 1970s before financial troubles led to its exit from the industry in 1991.
The brand built its legacy on high-quality tape-based audio gear, including reel-to-reel tape recorders, cassette decks, tuners, amplifiers, and complete stereo systems that brought professional-grade sound to homes. In the late 1980s, Akai Professional revolutionized music production with the MPC series—starting with the 1988 MPC60, co-designed by Roger Linn—integrating sampling, sequencing, and velocity-sensitive pads into compact workstations that defined hip-hop and electronic genres.
Today, Akai holds a revered vintage-collector status among hi-fi enthusiasts for its robust 1970s components, prized for their warm analog character and build quality. In the pro audio realm, the MPC line endures as an iconic, mid-to-high-end tool for beatmakers, with modern iterations sustaining the brand through licensing. While not a current leader in traditional hi-fi like amplifiers or speakers, its heritage appeals to savvy buyers seeking timeless reliability over fleeting trends.
