I still have my nakamichi dragon deck in my system. Does it sound “great” no does it sound really good hell yes. I used it to record live radio broadcasts of concerts. Summerfest in Milwaukee would broadcast the main act every night. I have some great shows that you can’t get anywhere. Back in the 80’s audition cassettes were sent out from artistic as a cheap and easy process to market them selfs. I have an original Yngwie  Malmsteen demo tape from before anyone had heard of him. I still listen to it today.
