Hey you tape heads with more than 2 or 3 decks like me just purchased my 7th deck a JVC TD V441 like them JVCs will be here tomorrow, Question is have you found that there's one deck that just really records great over the others and one that plays really good. I have one my JVC TD V621 it really records great and my ONKYO TA R500 and ONKYO 6711 play really great. Maybe I've just got one those really good recorder's.

A Nakamichi Dragon with self aligning playback head alignment is the ideal playback deck. And for the Money the more advanced 700 series with the latest noise reduction choice will give you the best recordings if you can find high quality metal oxide tapes. Personally I would be dubbing to CD with a professional CD recorder rather than another cassette deck. you could also dub to a computer for making CD's later using advanced apps to make the sound the best.
 
I used Nakamichi 682 and 581 series decks to dub tapes for friends and my autos. Neither one ever needed service after a 1000 hours of operation.

Thanks but no CD burners for me, I've been dubbing from some old normal bias tapes on to new MAXELL and TDKs for a little improvement in sound and just to save the old music before those 20 years tapes go really bad, a couple were so statically I just threw them out most were recordable. They were just music that I used on a basement stereo in my exercise room. I mostly record from XM radio blues, jazz, and more rock for the work out room.
 
The answer is very subjective. For me, PB on a Dragon -> Record to another Dragon. I have been dubbing original type I to XLIIs and TDK SAs. I got extremely satisfying results. Although I also got pretty result recording on my BX-300, if I can calibrate it right.

I also have a Onkyo dual wells TA RW-303 which has decent sound. But I have never used it for dubbing. Why bother?
 
After a couple recordings of jazz off XM radio with my JVC TD V621 using MAXELL UD XLII or TDK SA and then PB on the ONKYO TA 6711 it's just about CD quality sound with a touch of warmth.
