In Reply to: RE: Just BIN'd a Nak ZX-9 Deck posted by Braxus on June 20, 2016 at 13:50:25
Back in the day when the ZX-9 was a current deck and I was working in audio, the ZX-9 was the preferred machine of all the techs and audio geeks at Nak ...even over the Dragon. We sold a lot of ZX-7s, until the ZX-9 came out. The ZX-9 was clearly the superior recorder.
The ZX-9 is direct drive, while the ZX-7 is belt drive. They are otherwise the same.
For me, it is the ultimate cassette deck. But I must confess, I'm a big-time Nak fan.
Best of luck with it.

Even though they're called Direct Drive transport mechanism but, it is not a true direct drive mechanism in a real sense of the word. As the ZX-9 uses a belt to drive the other capstan flywheel one capstan is the motor rotor, while the other driven by belt, from the first capstan. On the ZX-7 both capstan are driven by belt by a separate motor, that's the difference between the two.The only cassette deck that uses true Direct Drive transport mechanism is the Revox B215. There's no belts or idler, for both reels and capstans and all 4 motors are controlled by light gate system.
