The best auto-rev. decks are single cassette units. The Nakamichi Dragon is considered the absolute best of these -- primarily because it has automatic head azimuth adjustment. Since the head needs to jump up or down slightly, depending which direction the tape is going, most auto-rev decks don't give the same reproduction as a fixed-head single-direction deck. A properly-adjusted Dragon will however. They're available on Ebay for anywhere from $350 to $1250 depending on condition and accessories (a wired remote is available)
chosing a cassette deck
Anyone still using casstte decks? I'm looking for one with " auto reverse " but I am noticing a bit of a difference. I had a nice Pioneer dual deck that finally burnt up on me. The nice thing about this deck is that it would play both sides of the tape when in auto reverse and then stop.
I have tried a Denon and a Sony but both play the tape contiuosly for hours when on auto reverse. Any one have another brand that only plays once around when in auto reverse? I require a dual deck as I still burn tapes.
