mmmm I am of the opinion that things should be used not left to take the muffins. lol
Dragon, RX-505 or DR-2 ?
I have the chance to get one of the 3 decks mentioned.
The Dragon works but the NAAC is slightly out of line, it’s an early serial number which I understand can mean an expensive service. The sales price is of course the highest!
The RX-505 works as expected, just never serviced and is being offered at half the price of the Dragon.
The DR-2 is near mint and hardly used and is priced between the Dragon and the RX-505.
Which one one would you choose?

Buying the RX-505 was a good choice, especially at that price. If you decide that cassettes are your thing, you can always move up to a Dragon if you need what it offers. I’m betting you will be happy with your purchase. When I bought my RX-505, the seller had a Dragon for sale but it was almost twice the price and didn’t sound as clear as the RX-505. I believe it was out of alignment. I have never regretted my decision, and the RX-505 is still in my collection. |
harold-not-the-barrel"AKAI GX-95 MK II (TOTL) is another excellent" Akai is second rate, budget, low performance option while it is not a bad deck it does not even remotely approach a Nakamichi such as the 505 or Dragon in performance, construction, or audio quality. |
