Anyone have an opinion on the Nakamichi 480? My local hi-fi store has a used one for $140. I have a bunch of tapes of my sister's various bands I want burn to CD. They were not recorded on a Nak deck.
I forgot to include that I currently have a 3-head Technics cassette deck from the early 90s. I am assuming that the Nak would have better playback ability than the Technics. I don't plan on doing much recording.
Basement - Thanks for the info on the Nak 480. The Technics deck I have is the RS-B85 (a three head deck). According to the manual the Play head is an AX head. I don't know much else about the Technics deck as I have never understood the specs offered in manuals.
I could not find the azimuth adjust on the Technics and neither could the technician at the hi-fi store. We both listened to both decks playing the same tapes. We both thought the Nak sounded better especially in the highs. He showed me how to adjust the azimuth on the 480. I ended up trading the Technics and paying $80 for the Nak. He also cleaned the heads for me.
