I was at a stereo store that I used to trust (but don't really any
more) and asked whether Nakamichi made any tape decks that use Dolby
HX Pro. The response was they don't because they have special heads
that don't need it.
According to my understanding of Dolby HX Pro, that's a bunch of cow
patties. Would anyone else who knows what HX is care to comment?
(I'm deliberately withholding a description of HX because if you don't
know what it is, you probably don't know the answer to this question.)

I've heard good things about AMD. >Phil Ngai, {ucbvax,decwrl,allegra}!amdcad!phil or phil@amd.com Kylo Ginsberg PS Sorry to be so snide, but I think this kind of attitude is really obnoxious. It would be nice if the net were a safe place to post ...

Nak does manufacture their own heads, however they have several different head designs and materials. If you really want to find out why Nak doesn't use HX Pro, call or write them, they are generally a very helpful bunch. mike tietel -- mike@ntmtka.mn.org UUCP: ...!amdahl!bungia!ntmtka!mike
