In Reply to: imagine that NAK with 3.75 IPS metal tapes posted by akai m8 on March 22, 2007 at 07:47:21:
to get the Nakamichi 6xx decks, late 70's to early 80's, much cheaper than the big name ones (700, 1000, Dragon, CR 7, etc.) and often in excellent shape, except for belts. As an aside, 660, 670 and 680 have low bass to 10 Hz. Mine is better overall but only goes to 20 Hz. I got a 681ZX for my brother for $80 or so last year (only issue was one of the VU meters).People went to cd's and left their tape decks to collect dust. I never did. I thought that cd's sounded clean and clear but lost something (in the later 80's, tried a used Yamaha early cd player with "natural sound" and a new Philips based Magnavox CDB 650, which is still the main cdp in my late father's system).
