Just got my Nak Dragon - Wow

Yes I have made many tapes and listened to them while saving my records. I am 43 and if I had not used my tape player so much I would have worn out my records with the cheap TT's I had. Here is the cassette decks I have used. Starting back in 77. $100 Pioneer/$250 JVC 79/$500 2 speed BIC!!81(never would stay aligned) $500 Nak 84/$500 Aiwa in 86/HK TD 4600 in 93/Sony KA3ES in 2000 and finally a Tandberg 3014A in 2004. Cassettes have never sounded so good. Tape deck nut

Well, I'm delighted that others are enjoying old fashioned technology still. I still use LP as my primary source. I don't think I'll be using the Dragon to archive my LPs yet. I really bought it to archive some old 35 year old R2R tapes that I found of my long lost grandad for my grandma, who doesn't understand CDs - she was 90 two weeks ago!!!
So with my 'let's buy something decent hat on', I've ended up with a Dragon and a Revox G36. I haven't used tape sources for 20 years, having been a vinyl addict. Now I can listen to all those pre-recorded tapes that we never threw out in our various house moves.

Whats the freq range of cassettes anyway? no roll off or congestion anywhere?

I heard a great Tandberg Cassette deck a few weeks ago, and I was very impressed!

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.
