Looking to get back into cassettes and looking for the best sounding deck, IYHO
From some research i see the best decks have these characteristics in common.
Type: 3-head, single compact cassette deck - NOT AUTO REVERSE
Tape Speed: 4.8 cm/s
Tape Type: type I (norm), CrO2, Metal
Noise Reduction: B, C, S, HX Pro
Frequency Response: 15Hz to 20kHz (Metal tape)
Signal to Noise Ratio: 85dB (dolby S)
Wow and Flutter: 0.024% (with dual capstan, keeps wow and flutter very low)
Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.8%
Calibration: Azimuth and/ or Bias auto or manual
and believe it or not the Nakamichi dragon does not have these specs...but then again I've never heard a Nak Dragon...
thoughts on the best ever ?
