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!

I have a Nakamichi DR-1, not up to the Dragon but a fine deck. I think it is a great addition to my system in the ability to record my favorite vinyl that I play more frequently for some easy play back. I would love to have a Dragon, and perhaps some day will, as it really is the classic in analog tape.

Yes, some folks don’t believe how good a well-recorded cassette can sound on a great Nak deck. You have a collector’s item there, enjoy it and keep it well maintained.

I still have a functional Nakamichi ZX-7 with the belt drives and it indeed is an analog treat. For pure musical pleasure I would put it up against many of the CDP's of the day and I can record, obviously! Topoxforddoc it's cool to hear there is still someone out there hearing the Nak quality. Enjoy!
