The KD-25 is a near-duplicate of the KD-55, but is priced substantially less. But unlike other decks in the same price range the KD-25 features low wow and flutter. This JVC economy-priced deck with Dolby system is well worth the investment of a listen at your nearest dealer's showroom.

Easy to Use Facilities

Cassette mode buttons of the KD-25 are serrated and flat for easy, sure grip. Plus; The JVC 5-LED peak Indicator warns you of imminent saturation distortion; and VU meters are extra-large for high visibility.

Accurate Tape Transport

Tapes are unspotted by a precision-finished capstan (ground to a roundness of 0,1 µ), which is coupled to a large, dynamically balanced, 80 mm flywheel, driven by a precision ground belt.  It contributes to the low wow/flutter and high s/s of the KD-25.
