I had a Nak Dragon for 6 years and recently sold it but what's surprises me is that I don't miss it. The Nak Dragon is a fine deck but its way too finicky and that NAAC which is nice can be a pain in the behind. I had mine serviced at nakamichi in L.A. and it was back to new again but this is just too much mesing around with different tape when your ready to record. I picked up a Luxman K-03 deck and it sounds better than the NaK Dragon I had, also the Luxman K-03 can record alot louder than the Dragon without breaking up or distorting. One thing I liked about the Luxman K-03 is that the tapes it makes are great and play back great on most decks unlike the Dragon. Also when I opened the Dragon up and seen what was inside I kinda soured on it. Now I'm happy with the Luxman K-03 deck which sounds great and has a very nice headphone section in it, and it has some great functions as well.
Just got my Nak Dragon - Wow
I'd forgotten how good old fashioned cassettes were until I got my Nak Dragon today. I remember listening to 580 and 680 series decks in the 1980s when I was selling hi-fi. It's not quite as good as my vinyl front end (Platine Verdier, Schroeder Model 2 & Allaerts MC1B), but it's a lot, lot cheaper!
