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.
@blueranger I could never warm up to Dragon's sound. It just didn't project the soundstage right. I sold the Dragon but kept the ZX-7 for a long time until I came upon the 1000zxl.
Right now after some serious a/b testing of my 582 vs bx300 I will have to say the new kid on the block to me (bx300) has slightly edged out the 582. At least on playback of pre recorded tapes.
However both are very impressive with great frequency response from top to bottom.
This Willy Hermannized ZX-9 sounds better than the non Hermannized DR-2 I have but both sound nice. The ZX-9, though, is in another realm. A hard one to find but it's going to go up in price. The DR-2 I paid 300 for I saw a parts machine for 300.
