While I loved the Nak machines and even used them with a parallel direct feed on recording sessions (for general playback in order not to excessively wind and rewind the 30 I.P.S. master), they will NOT make a good tape for someone else to play on their machine, because of the NAK eq.So while a NAK would make a superior record playback SYSTEM, I'd probably use a good Luxman or other machine for recordings to be given to non-Nak users.
In fact I did. I had a bank of 50 machines for real time duplication with my location recording company. Had Naks at first before I realized the problem.
This was back in the era of the Dragon, ZX-9. LX-5, etc.

And it must have been something to have it all wired up, from one source?
I had 4 Luxman preamps driving 12 decks each.The decks had a high input impedance. Dolby HX Pro, B & C.
The preamps had a super low output impedance (something like 50 ohms), and a high input impedance, so it worked out great.

Just realized I had 48 decks that I used. Bought 50 so I'd have two in back up.Honestly, Luxman gave me an incredible price. I had them in my hifi shop where they could be seen so I guess it was good advertising for them.
We always did real time copies on good tape with premium shells.
Pretty amazing what a cassette copy of a 30 i.p.s master can sound like!
