[net.audio] The Dragon

wjm (03/15/83)

In re Nakamichi's Dragon ... the April "High Fidelity" contains a glowing
review of it - the new azumuth correction system seems like the best one yet
since it adjusts the playback head to the tape.  The old Nakamichi system
adjusted the record head - which works quite well for tapes made on that
machine, but does nothing for tapes imported from other decks (or prerecorded
tapes).  From what I've seen, the auto reverse playback on the Dragon is
just icing on the cake, the deck's other features justify its $1850.00
price tag.   Unfortunately, at least in the NY area, no one discounts
Nakamichi (except that one can get some very good buys on discontinued models
at Harvey Sound - they did have some 700 ZXL's for half price ($1500) two
weeks ago).
I'd also like to hear about anyone's hands on exerience with the Dragon
Thanx.
