Re: Get a Dragon. It's a no-brainer.

> If you only care about playback azimuth adjustment, then try to get a Nak DR1 and Cassette Deck 1. Both of them have manual adjustable playback head...

Sure - if you want to manually adjust the azimuth every time you switch to a recording made on a different deck. In some of my sources, that happens several times within a single cassette. I don't have an infinite amount of spare time so that's not an option for me.

BTW, to say something like "If you only care about playback azimuth adjustment..." is rather absurd, isn't it? The reason I emphasize its importance is that even a small error in alignment can make a big difference in sound quality and it's an adjustment that for most cassette decks, even expensive ones, can only be done by a technician.

> At the same time, a complete service on a DRAGON can easy cost you $1000.

I don't believe that. You can buy a mint-quality Dragon for less.

> I will only have ESL to service the DRAGON...

I agree with you on that.
