Just got my Nak Dragon - Wow

I'd forgotten how good old fashioned cassettes were until I got my Nak Dragon today. I remember listening to 580 and 680 series decks in the 1980s when I was selling hi-fi. It's not quite as good as my vinyl front end (Platine Verdier, Schroeder Model 2 & Allaerts MC1B), but it's a lot, lot cheaper!

I have a Nakamichi DR-1, not up to the Dragon but a fine deck. I think it is a great addition to my system in the ability to record my favorite vinyl that I play more frequently for some easy play back. I would love to have a Dragon, and perhaps some day will, as it really is the classic in analog tape.

Yes, some folks don’t believe how good a well-recorded cassette can sound on a great Nak deck. You have a collector’s item there, enjoy it and keep it well maintained.

I still have a functional Nakamichi ZX-7 with the belt drives and it indeed is an analog treat. For pure musical pleasure I would put it up against many of the CDP's of the day and I can record, obviously! Topoxforddoc it's cool to hear there is still someone out there hearing the Nak quality. Enjoy!

Sorry, but how does it sound so good if you are recording CDs?

Or do you have secret master tapes on cassette?
