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 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!
With manual azimuth alignment on the recording head it gets even better when you play back a cassette that you recorded say, off an Lp on this deck as with my ZX-7, pretty impressive. The dragon as I recall may have auto azimuth on the play head. Do you know? Anyway back in the day (1985?) when I bought it a record Lp recorded on a blank cassette would smoke, hands down, the first CDs that started showing up. It took years for the music industry to sort that mess out. Some CDs sound really good these days. ItÂ’s about time as they move some of us to new formats yet again. Enjoy!
