The deck produce high quality sound closed to LP quality. If upgrade the recording and playback section op-amps, the sound quality will increase a lot.
I agree the Z6000 is better because you can manually tweak each tape. The z7000 has Auto BLE and it does not do a great job. Otherwise both decks are very naturally colorless sounding and for its age outstanding!
