In Reply to: Since this is an analogue forum, I'm curious to know how many own a cassette deck. posted by Dr. Drib on October 28, 2004 at 18:37:09:
1. a black-faced Nakamichi LX-3. This has to be one of the best two-head decks ever made. Sounds as good as I think is possible with two heads. Dolby C tracks properly on this machine once bias is properly tweaked (an easy job) but I mostly use Dolby B or else record with no noise reduction.2. a Nakamichi CR-1a. This is a better than average deck when compared to most in its price range and vintage but it is not nearly as good a machine as the LX-3. Still, it sounds good and makes fine dubs.
3. a Sony TC400S. This is a current model Sony with the amidships well and Dolby S. It is a very, very good machine - quite better than the CR-1a but less than the LX-3. Dolby S and auto tape calibration are much appreciated. With Dolby S this thing makes tapes that are virtually as quiet as a good CD. Not as "open" sounding as the LX-3. Typical of most decks, Dolby C sometimes mistracks if the tape was made on another machine. Dolby B is great, Dolby S even better. If Dolby S had been introduced 20 years ago, instead of the inferior Dolby C, the cassette format might still be going strong.
