Bkeske.
As far as nak decks go.
Maybe consider a 480.
Yes it's only 2 head but unless you are doing a lot of home recording it's not really a big deal.
The 480 uses the older better transport and controls and is affordable IMHO.
Think $150 to $200.
In fact I am planning on buying one as a back up and to share the playback load. |

Royal Concertgebouw - RCO Live box set, 1980-1990. Avro
CD 1, 7, and 10.
Picked a real mix of more modern composers; Webern, Nielsen, Schreker, Skryabin, Varese, Escher, Berg, with Brahms 4th and Mahler’s 1st thrown into the mix as bookends to the above.
Great sets and live recordings. |

@boxer12 Bkeske, I would also like to see a well recorded "Rock of ages". ***The music on that album(s) is steller.*** Which is why it is disappointing, as The Band were really playing well and with a ton of energy. Back in the 70’s, with a lesser system, I really didn’t notice it as much, but when I recently unearthed my vinyl and played it on my current system, there are times it is ‘cringe worthy’. And only has to do do with the recording technique and engineering. |

The Band Live in Concert - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. Capitol reissue 1989
Cassette
Well, this is actually a re-release of songs culled from the Rock of Ages 2 LP set released in 1972, which I have, and rate it poor for its recording and overall SQ. I really don’t listen to it at all because of that.
I was hoping that maybe they may have improved things with this release, but not really. Perhaps a little better, but it’s just hard to believe they (Capitol) could have recorded and released such a poor effort recording and engineering-wise. The Band plays great, but I cannot get past the poor engineering effort on this one, or Rock of Ages. A shame really, it really does not do The Band justice. |
