Nakamichi Cassette Decks


I would like to hear from anyone who can tell me if the Nakamichi decks are better than say a upper end Denon DRW 800A, And second is there a big dirrence in the way the different models sound in playback mode. I' thinking of buying a Nakamichi MR2

Still using a bx300 and a 582 pretty regular, one of each  set up in number 1 and 2 systems.
Have so many tapes not letting them go to waste.
Still very happy with my 582 which I bought mainly to play my old collection of tapes AND because it was so freaking cheap it would have been criminal not to buy it! Have it hooked up with a pair of Nordost White Lightning interconnect to my main system.
On many tapes the sq is very close to a vinyl version of same album.
I have never recorded anything on my 582 but its playback of "good" prerecorded cassettes is very very good to my ears in my system.
But is wholly dependant on the mastering just like vinyl.
Still use my 582 pretty regular.
Got lots of tapes so I'm not going to throw them anytime soon.
Like the warmth although some recordings are pretty bad....lol
