Nakamichi DR-8 VS Yamaha KX-W321

[liemjerry]

Sorry,
maybe the subject seems weird, but now I have 2 offer :
1. Yamaha KX-W321 dual deck cassette player
review is quite ggod, about high dan low frequency reproduces good and enough
2. Nakamichi DR-8
3. Nakamichi Deck 2
the big name of Nakamichi tell anything, single deck

I just want to choose 1 of 2 above, please help me to decide, my music the most I listen is Jazz, especially trio Jazz, what deck suit for my habits?


Thanks

Those are both late production 2 head Nakamichi decks. I would choose the Deck-2 if in good working order of the 3 listed.

Hi Revox, thank you for replying, why didn't you choose DR-8? I think from outside look, material is better than Nak Deck-2, or maybe can you inform development of technology from DR-8 to Nak Dec-2 ?
I saw review too for Yamaha KX-W321 is quite good at audioreview, but I'm not sure it has the same sound quality with Nak's decks like DR-8 and Nak Deck-2
Thank you

I have seen several posts questioning the reliability of the DR-8, the Deck-2 much less. As far as the dual well deck, they all are rather lower in their construction quality and generally in performance.

I guess I would go for DR-2, followed by DR-8 and KX-W321.

Maybe the mechanical material of DR-8 is more made from plastics, didn't it?
