acoustic research ar rd 06 cassette deck

Acoustic Research RD-06 Stereo Cassette Deck

This Acoustic Research RD-06 is a stereo cassette deck with Dolby B/C and HX-Pro noise reduction, it was first sold by Acoustic Research in 1988 with a recommended retail price of USD $500.

The main features of the Acoustic Research RD-06 are:, digital linear tape counter with 4 digits, tape type selection and capable of handling normal, chrome and metal tapes.

Typical front loading cassette deck with the cassette compartiment located on the left side of the deck. Tape eject is operated mechanically and the cassette needs to be placed with the side to be played facing forward in the cassette well.

Level meters used on the RD-06 are generic digital peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the RD-06 let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.

Dolby C-type used in the RD-06 provides 20 dB of noise reduction above about 1,000 Hz, fully doubling the amount given by B-type. The Dolby HX PRO system provides precise bias control during recording to reduce distortion and improve linearity in the high-frequency range, the result is recorded sound that is highly faithful to the original.

For undisturbed listening a jack connector for a pair of stereo headphones is supplied. All main transport commands can be issued remotely with a wireless remote control.

Serious Tapehead

Just wondering if anyone here ever had one of these decks in use and what they thought of it ? I have a set of that era AR components and would like to get this deck back in running order . The deck has been stored for years and now it won't play unless I give the fly wheel some help and then it will play so the belt is done for sure . Problem is I can't seem to find a link on line to that model with the belt sizes used in that machine or who really made that deck ? I did try some recordings with it years back and they were not good and having other decks on hand never used it but would be nice to have it playing to complete the set . It seems it may have been more popular in the UK. I guess I should say hello first , from the Ottawa area and still have a couple of Yammy decks and a JVC . thanks John

Can't say that I've ever seen an AR cassette deck before. So I looked it up and have to say that it is a very attractive deck, a little different looking than most cassette decks of that era. Hope you can get it going.  

Yes , seems to be quite rare , although there is a guy in Texas on the 'bay has new ones in the box for sale , he used to have other gear from that same series on sale also years back so must have bought up a store or something . Anyway will be taking it in to the shop on Saturday and see if they will even touch it as bit of a lost art these days .

Never seen one of their decks. I wasn't even aware they put one out. Curious to see how it sounds once its up and running. Been a fan of their speakers for years. Have had the 2AX's,3,4,7 ,10 pie's and 9's.*thumbsup*

still in the 70's

There's one for sale locally. Anyone know who actually made it?  

I had one for a while. From memory it was a relatively decent sounding Rotel RD-865 clone (ALPS transport). I liked the design but found the controls quite fiddly and plasticky in use so got rid of it eventually. The illuminated cassette well was nice though.

Just picked one up for $50 from original owner. Kept in a cabinet with his Adcom gear. Rarely used in perfect working order. Definately a different style with swept back facia. Enjoying the tapes made with TDK D's. Nothing fancy but does a nice job.

Acoustic Research Seperates. Anyone Seen These Before?

• Aug 3, 2010

Hello, I am trying to find out more information on these vintage Acoustic Research Seperates. I picked these up at an estate sale and have had them in my garage trying them out for the past 6 months or so. They are as listed. (And Sound Great) RD-06 CASSETTE DECK T-04 TUNER CD-04 COMPACT DISC PLAYER C-06 PRE-AMPLIFIER P-10 POWER AMPLIFIER (Must Weigh 50 lbs) These units are very well made and HEAVY. I think they are from the early to late 80's, but I cannot find any information on the internet on these items. It seems these were a limited run on these units. I am just curious on the age and also what someone out there might think they are worth. Any help would be appriciated, Dan

I can fix it but good...

I've got the CDP and matching receiver (with remote) that I bought new when i was an AR auto stereo dealer. These don't have much of a following and they don't sell for much but are well made pieces. These are from around 1988. Play em!  

Thanks for the info. They sound great. I have the remote for the pre amp and I have 2 original boxes for the Pre Amp and Cassette Deck (With Instructions). Thanks for the info. Dan  

still learning...

Really neat set up! I guess AR and a/d/s were fighting it out with the separates and speakers back then...Boston speaker company warfare! I remember seeing some of this gear in a surplus shop when AR split with Teledyne and left Boston. Always was intrigued...how's it sound?  

It sounds really great. Can barely turn it up to half way without distorting my speakers. Clean sound and very well made. Needs an EQ to get the highs and Mids to run right but other then that, sounds great. Thanks, Dan

I remember many years ago when I worked in a local hifi shop we sold this range of amplifiers. IIRC they may have been class A, they certainly got hot enough and had a warm sound to them. I know some thought at the time that they were not much cop but I thought they sounded great with the right speakers. I have been trying to find some info on them but apart from one pic and a foreign page I have drawn a blank. Does anyone have any info / reviews on them or maybe even know anyone selling one? Cheers fellas. WOW! I have just for the hell of it done a search on evilpay and lo and behold... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ACOUSTIC-RESEA...iFi_Amplifiers May be a bit pricey though!

I remember these Steve - I thought they were quite nice too. A friend had the big one & it's matching tuner. I also waited, with breath, held for the big-boy amps they trumpeted about for a while that never materialised except for some empty chassis' that were on display at one of the shows. I have some magazine reviews somewhere - see what I can turn up for you. Cheers

Thanks Chris. I was just reminiscing about some old gear I have heard and this popped into my head! Steve

Weren't these made by Cambridge Audio (under Stan Curtis)? They were too cheap and almost anonymous looking I think. AR were then known for their turntables and a few of their speakers were still competitive in the UK. I think the electronics were known more as "me too" sadly.

Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

Apart from the really old AR Amp, there was an AR Integrated that was a clone of the big knob Cambridges - that's the one you're referring to, right? But Steve's talking about the later sloped fascia models.

Here ya go Steve............... HFN/RR January 1987 reviewed four of the nine model range. CD-04 CD player, T-04 tuner, A-04 & A-06 integrated amps.

Brilliant! that is fantastic thanks Chris. Maybe one day I will get hold on one...

You're welcome anytime, matey. Cheers

Nice bits of kit. In fact I've always thought the A-06, T-04 and CD-04 together with an RD-06 cassette deck, EB101 turntable and pair of 44BX or 66BX loudspeakers would be one of the best one-make complete systems out there.

I have the same,but didnt think it was worth that much!!!! I was just about to list it here for £120.... I will still sell it here though if anyone is interested. Heres the other one and looks much worse than mine. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1809075159...966%26_rdc%3D1

What is stereo?

There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound. H.H.
