Advanced tracking technology using a double-gap head and servo-controlled azimuth adjustment, which ensured precise tracking of the tape theoretically producing lower wow and flutter distortion.4. High-quality audio components such as a JRC4558 opamp, including two chips for symmetrical reproduction, and Matsushita DD985 LEM IC used as a phase shifter.5. Gold-plated connectors, oil-damped chassis, and a sand-filled cover to shield against electromagnetic interference.Overall, the AIWA LX-100 represented a significant advancement in cassette technology, and it remains a highly sought-after collector's item by audiophiles today.
