From Harman Kardon:
“The CD191 provides a quality of sound that is rare even in esoteric equipment, let alone a moderately priced deck. The reason is the combination of ultra wide band response and Dolby C noise reduction circuitry.
The CD191 gives you spectacular frequency response of 20Hz to 21kHz (±3dB) with any tape formulation. This means an exceptionally faithful reproduction in the high frequency range.
And thanks to Dolby C, the signal to noise ratio is 72dB, keeping tape noise inaudible.
The CD191 also incorporates features that give you both extra convenience and added control over your recordings. With the Auto Repeat System engaged, the CD191 will automatically rewind and replay a tape once it has reached the end.
And for precision recording, you also get a bias fine trim that lets you adjust the bias precisely to the tape you are using.
Simply put, the CD191 gives you fidelity far superior to any deck in its price range. Almost as good, in fact, as our more expensive cassette decks.”

Braun Atelier C1 Slim Cassette Deck — Motorized Drawer, Japan
70 mm tall, almost exactly the height of a cassette case, and that is not a coincidence. The tape does not stand upright behind a door the way it does in every Japanese deck of the era — it lies flat and is drawn in horizontally on a motorised tray, the mechanism disappearing into a slot barely thicker than the cassette itself. The C1 arrived in 1980, two years before a CD player made that gesture familiar. Built for Braun in Japan, the matching deck to the Atelier A1 and T1. Good condition.
