I will be doing this for the first time as well in a few days. I do not and probablly can not get a nak. I have a kenwood deck that was barely used before I put it away. nothing great but not too bad. I plan on going cass > v3 > audiophile 24/96 (via coax) > wavelab. should I be worried about pitch issues etc? didn't know about (or really understand) azimuth adjustment etc.
