Cassette deck enthusiasts......


Looking for 3 head deck from 79-81 era with vu meters that is easy to service and find parts for...belts,etc...any brands come to mind for low cost service and above average performance?

Two (or three) options with very good performance but less hype than the Naks (which were good once you got above the 400 series) were any of the three-head versions of Aiwa and Pioneer and Pioneer Elite.
I have a 680zx and is a great deck. If you carefully calibrate and bias the deck for half speed, the quality of the sound in half speed is quite stunning.
I owned the Nak. Dragon. With the Super Metal Master it was a superior unit.
When the Super Metal Master tapes run out of production, it wasn't the same anymore and I sold it.
Loved the LX-5 three head deck way back then in the early 80 's. Gave 20+ years of service! Nak ruled! (back then).
