Cassettes still rock!


Played Dire Straits debut album last night - from a Maxell XL 2s cassette recorded from the vinyl over 30 years ago. Best sound I've heard on my system in months. I have the SACD, but doesn't have the organic sound from the tape/vinyl. Dig out your old cassettes!

We were NOT a Nak dealer but had Revox and Tandberg and it was always a tough sale against a Dragon.... the Tandberg , when it worked sounded great. Obviously both the Revox and Tand RtR are amazing machines.

i have a nice CR-2A in my garage system sounds nice on tapes I made for my Concord ( remember them ? / Alphasonic / Madisound system I had in my IROC

omg, I am dating myself....
I know where a Dragon TT can be found - but it’s not going to be a $100 craigslist score...
I owned 2 Nakamichi decks, the Dragon and a 505. I used metal tape for 90% of my recordings and chrome for the rest. Back then it was amazing. Not even on the same planet with today’s source components.

Some people are vastly over pricing the Dragons.
Sure it was top knotch but in reality not truly much above a zx7 or zx9 which are likely the best bet in top end Nakamichi ownership for value vs performance.
Still, nothing worthwhile will be a $100 CL buy... lol
