Back in the late eighties/early nineties I had a Teac V-800X that was quite good. During that time a local high-end shop had a Nakamichi rep come in with a promotional offer to perform a free tune-up and test on any deck as a means to compare to the Naks. After running tests on my Teac he seemed genuinely surprised at the Teac's performance. It was a surprise to me also as it measured better than its specs.
Unfortunately the Teac died. Maybe from lack of exercise.
