CR-7 is the one to beat in my book. ZX-9, ZX-7 and Dragon following close behind. But any 3 head Nak will thrill.

Being able to adjust the playback azimuth is important for getting the best playback of tapes recorded on a different machine. The CR-7 has manually adjustable playback azimuth (even from the remote if you find one with the remote). Some of the later top of the line Naks also have that feature, although not with a remote. The Dragon adjusts the azimuth automatically.

If all the tapes you want to copy were recorded on the same deck, you could just buy a good quality deck and have the azimuth aligned by a tech to match those tapes.

Nak Dragon was it for me. Best cassette transport ever, including the little arm that stuck up to block the pressure pad. I also liked the Revox B710 Mk-II. Didn't sound as good, but so beautifully made. The original Nak 1000 was one of the coolest-looking decks ever, and sounded pretty good, especially given when it was made.
