LUxman actually had some very good tape decks in the early to mid 80s...I wish I had the model #...but I bought one of the first decks to have dolby C...3 head/3 motor design...for around $500...it had a "mechanized" faceplate which moved when turned on/off...kind of gimmicky...but the deck itself sounded very good...compared it to similiarly priced NAK decks at the time...and it was superior...later sold it to a college buddy...who still uses it to this day...hard to find though...check ebay...
