Nakamichi ZX-7 is pricier than the 600 but the bias is adjustable. The ZX-9 is even better, but it was a "balanced and blue-printed" (NAD actually matched up the components for each machine, sort of a "super-tuned" deck), and I don't think you'd notice the difference. The ZX-7 can be had for $250 - $500, but add in at least $300 to have it gone through and brought back to true operating condition. With just about any vintage cassette deck, it's going to take more than new belts to restore performance to what you should expect. I've been through this with NAK's and NAD's (2 ZX-7's, 3 NAD 6300's). The NAD 6300 is also very good, not as good as the NAK, it has a Sankyo transport and is not as well built. But when you get a good one, it sounds very good indeed. The NAD 6100 (which I also have) is very good for the price but much slower motor (FF/RW) and not 3 heads, which the others are.
