Just chiming in that the Nakamichi Dragon is pretty easily the top. I made thousands of tapes back in the day and could never afford the dragon. So I would always just spent as much as I could on another Nak model. I owned about 5 Nak decks over the years. The Naks always sounded best to my ears. Then went DAT.
Top 10 vintage cassette decks
Howdy folks!
Would like to add an excellent vintage cassette deck to my setup. Luxman PD444 and Victor TT-101 make up my vintage vinyl setup. It would be cool to include a badass old timer cassette deck don't ya think. Also researching 70's, 80's R2R's. There's another thread on that one. Anyway, I appreciate your knowledge and experience with a killer top ten vintage cassette deck. Bam!
