It was a decent deck, but two head Nak's were never anything really special. Only the three head Nakamichi's were able to leave all other brands wishing they could do the same from a performance point of view.
JVC's TDV-541 was a significantly better cassette deck than the Cassette Deck 2. Not many JVC cassette decks can claim to be enormously impressive, the 541 was a clear exception. It had the ability to to put recording levels on tape that all but kept up with the best better Nakamichi 3 head decks, it sounded a little drier than the 3 head Nak's and didn't have quite the musicality, but it was very close had better wow and flutter (despite JVC's claimed measurement) than most Namakanichi's (no mean feat).
The Cassette Deck 2 is a decent deck, but it didn't beat all other 3 head decks by other brands in the same price range at the time. The TDV-541 outperforms the Nak CD2 comprehensively.
Other models such Technics' RSB-606 also gave the CD2 a good run for it's money.
