Revox cassette decks

IMHO the Nak 682ZX was one the of the best cassette decks ever made...I'd stop there.

Agree on the NAK. In some ways I think the 680 series was better than the Dragon.

What about ZX-9 and Tandberg 3014, 3014A ? They might be a little better, right? But so expensive.

Keep the Nak. Take it to a tech familiar with Naks, supply your go to tape and have it internally tweaked for that formulation for optimal performance WITHOUT using Dolby. Sound floor will drop dramatically, S/N improvement, better highs and resolution.

I see. It appears that no one so far thinks that Revox is worth getting. Yes, this Nak sounds great. I bought it 10 years ago on ebay in excellent condition, put probably 3000 hours on it, never serviced, and it plays exactly as when I first tried it. But the transport is getting a little noisier.By the way, it sounds its very best with Maxell Vertex tape, and the difference is not small; I tried every reference tape.
