NAKAMICHI 660ZX .....3 heads ???

[PELUDITO]

Hi
Recently i had a big dissapointing, because i won an auction for an NAKAMICHI 660 ZX in good conditions

I have a NAKAMICHI 680 with 3 heads and i can monitoring the recorded sound at the same time i am recording it play.....

This deck, as his owner tells me... can't monitoring the recorded sound ,,,,,,NO NO THIS DECK HAVENT THAT FEATURE !!! says THE SALESMAN :nono:

And i wonder-.......for what a deck have 3 heads if i can't monitoring on line the recorded sound ?

:sigh::sigh::sigh::sigh:

Thanks .... Manuel

Hi Manuel,

According to http://www.vintagecassette.com/modelspage.jsp?product=3129

Direct off tape monitoring is not provided, however, the same Discrete 3 Head Technology and AutoAzimuth Alignment system are used.

so, it seems that the seller is correct. I don't understand why Nakamichi would have avoided the monitoring ability.

Are you going to keep it?

I thought all of the 680's did. But Nak made some models that WERE 3 head, non-monitoring. 481, 581. They were a little cheaper because they didn't require the seperate Play and Record electronics.

Hm... I'm sure that's a drag... but I know I'd be pretty happy with any Nak deck... you can probably resell it without too much trouble.
