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 have one and it's excellent. It is broke at the moment however. The recordings were super clean. Costing $800 less than a dragon it's a great bargain. I'm getting mine fixed.
"Nothing wrong with the Sony Walkman portable Cassette players as far as I can tell. "

They had a weak spot in that connecting film between two parts (the one that cassette goes in and the one that closes it). I guess "interconnect" would be the closest name for it.

In the U.S.A. warranty was 90 days for labor and parts were six months. You ended up paying $45 for repair while they gave you $1 part free under warranty. Otherwise, nice machines.
Sony Walkmans (Walkmen) are so cheap second hand if one doesn’t work or sound good just throw it away. The ones that sound good are the keepers. Problem solved, gloopy.

I see this tape post with this much attention shows a renewed interest in the medium. Lets have "Guardians of tbe Galaxy" 3 !!!
