Nakamichi Dragon Review

Good Points
Analog sound: vitality, smoothness, depth, width, space, airiness, glow and everything.

Bad Points
What a pity the analog recording dies. Hard disks, memory cards and flash cards are not welcome.

General Comments
The Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck is a masterpiece of electronic engineering and functionality. Its sound is superior to 2005 model hard disk and CD players, it even compares to Sacd and DVD-AUDIO format, and is equal to the best reel to reel tape decks. It's so enjoyable to play and record with this deck, and it is as stable as the best tape decks, like REVOX B77II. As the vinyl and the SET amplifiers are the king of the hi-end yet, and all the sources and amps are compared to them as a reference standard, and many of the sacd's and DVD-AUDIO and CD's are mastered from this old technology!!! THE ANALOG MASTER TAPES AND LP's.!! The sound of the very high priced high-end solid state amps are compared to the old technology of the valve amps (TUBE LIKE SOUND, TUBE WRAMTH, VALVE VITALITY and TUBE LIKE SMOOTHNESS). The Dragon also has this spirit and vitality: the analog sound.
