Nakamichi Cassette Decks

I would like to hear from anyone who can tell me if the Nakamichi decks are better than say a upper end Denon DRW 800A, And second is there a big dirrence in the way the different models sound in playback mode. I' thinking of buying a Nakamichi MR2

I’m not familiar with the HK CD491. The thing I would remind you about is that there are still Nakamichi techs that can tune up an old deck to be just like new. I’m not sure that’s true for the HK CD491 (Harmon Kardon, I assume) deck you mentioned. Also, what are the odds of finding one, or replacement parts for that matter.

True. There were not as many HKs made for sure. If I knew what I know now back then I would have got the CD 491 because the TOTL Naks were to expensive.

I can’t disagree, and they’re still expensive!
