Legendary ADS Atelier C2 Cassette Deck - Working Perfectly & for sale in Old Saybrook, CT
Some of you know the Atelier line well and may not even need to read through my attempt to describe this. You already know that the entire line proved a true pinnacle of form meeting function head on, components that look stellar while also sounding superb and having an unmatched level of useful functionality. It is a mix that I can think of no other system possessing! These are rarely seen for sale and tend to be highly sought out pieces and for good reason! This cassette deck is working perfectly and looks extremely good as well. I can't call it mint as there are a few very minor scuffs and such but you've got to get in close with good light to see any imperfections and even then, there's nothing that really jumps at you. Now, for those of you who are not totally familiar with the Atelier system, I'm going to try to do some justice to it. When ADS set out to design the pieces, they really wanted a look that would set them apart from the mainstream. The idea was that these components would be on the cutting edge of technology and should have a look to match. The decision was made to hire famed German designer Dieter Rams who created a very elegant and sleek look that truly carries a timeless level of style. The slim profile and perfect stylistic match of makes them a true stand alone as a system. They instantly grab the eye and have been featured in books on aesthetic design. In short, the Atelier systems are about as beautiful as anythingI've encountered!Behind the facade though, there is an extraordinary level of electronic sophistication. The C2 cassette deck continues in the tradition of the other Atelier components in that it's built like a brick and also sounds excellent. I was truly impressed with the playback and recordings I made on this machine. The top end is open and extended with a smooth presentation from top to bottom. In fact, I'm amazed at how close this comes to the sonics of my three head Nakamichi's. Of course the look is very clean and elegant with a unique slide out tray that holds the cassette and allows access to secondary features.This has been completely checked out on the test bench and is working perfectly. Let me just say that there are few people who would not agree that this cassette deck is truly in a class by itself! You don't want to miss out on this rare opportunity. Buyer pays actual shipping cost.
