In Reply to: Do you remember your first GOOD cassette deck??? posted by mikerussell@hughes.net on July 8, 2007 at 07:40:26:
It replaced my mechanical controlled Luxman.
At the time I collected audiophile pre-recorded cassettes (MFSL, In Sync Labs, Direct to Tape, Sound Ideas, Audible Images, etc.) I didn't know commercial cassettes could sound good on a Nakamichi as commercial cassettes sounded dreadful with HF roll-off on the Luxman so they were never tried on the Nakamichi. At the time my system was the Nakamichi 480 cassette deck, Luxman Integrated Amp and Infinity Q-A's and that's all cassette only.
I sold the Nakamichi 480 and all of my pre-recorded cassettes in 1983 to raise the $900.00 needed to buy the first CD player, the Sony CDP-101. The biggest mistake of my life. Not only was the CD dreadful sounding to this day I still have only found a small of portion of my favorite audiophile cassettes. I didn't keep any cassettes as my car at the time only had an AM/FM radio.
I now have a Nakamichi CR-1A that sounds great with both audiophile and most commercial pre-recorded cassettes.
