    I love my Nakamichi Dragon, but I do think there are some better looking decks out there (not that the Dragon is ugly). I am particularly fond of the Marantz decks:

    Had one of these back in 1979-80. It made some very nice sounding tapes.

    I would often recommend used models of this unit in the late 80s cause they could be had for very little money and were almost always working well, even when abused. a really solid deck.

    Yes but this is "porn" and the Marantz has better knobs, buttons and lights as well as angles and front plate architecture.

    I've actually touched the A/D/S, and it felt really good.
