Nakamichi 682ZX vs ZX-9

Who compared the two directly in one system? Both well-aligned, of course, with the same cables and reference tape.

I mostly use Maxell Vertex tape and it sounds really good. I like to make compilations, from records and cds. Both decks are now quite rare.

Friend of mine had the 682ZX and we hooked them both up side-by-side in the same system and made comparisons....I honestly can't say there was a noticeable difference in sound. We both concluded the ZX-9 was "cooler" but that was about it. Either one will produce about as good a result with cassettes as you will get at that price point....
