I have an early or mid 80s Nak from the lower end of the line that I bought to copy tapes to CD. (It sounds a hell of a lot better than the Denon I used to own when I still listened to cassettes.)
I'm wondering if a Marantz could do the job just as well. I could set it up by my computer and put it away when I'm not using it, instead of having the Nak take up real estate in my stereo rack. I could also use it as a back-up recorder in the field if I wanted. Unless the sound quality is inadequate. I only want to do this once, especially since some of my tapes from the 70s are degrading (but OTOH are not very high fidelity)
I know some of you guys have owned these in the past. Can you give me any idea how they sound on playback?
