Which Nakamichi to choose?


I have the opportunity to get a very good Nak Cassettedeck 1 or a DR-2. Which one would you choose? And why?
Thanks for giving a newbie some valuable advice.

I love cassettes for nostalgia’s sake but for the kind of money a good machine and the high cost of tapes, I have decided to allocate the cash to more vinyl. NOTHING compares to the sound of good vinyl on a good turntable. Given that it provides a superior listening experience I feel it is worththe investment. Cassettes were hugely fun back in the day. Making mixed tapes was one of my favourite things to do. I would even tape new music off of the college and alternative radio stations that was only available on expensive import vinyl. My pride and joy in my system was my Nak. But it just doesn’t make sense to dive back into another audio medium. I have a hard enough time finding room for my records and CDs. I wish I was less pragmatic and more romantic but alas, it is not to be.
