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

"Tinny" might be the wrong word, but definitely "thinner" sound. It didn't do justice to acoustic instruments and it was fully refurbished by Willy. Dragon has it's strengths (NAAC) but it's definitely not the best recorder.

Recordings made on Nak’s must be played back on Nak’s---and visa versa---to sound "right". Nakamichi used a different EQ curve than other companies.

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.
