I used my trusty but retired BX300 for years (I took it out recently so my wife could listen to an old recording of her kids and hey...it still works!) as an important part of my hifi rig, and also as a mixdown deck for recordings I did on a TEAC 8 track porta-studio...the Nak is an amazing machine with the best Dolby I ever used, with the three heads allowing you to hear that fact instantly.
