The Nakamichi Dragon is not just a cassette deck; it’s an icon in the world of audio equipment. Known for its superior engineering and groundbreaking features, the Dragon represents the pinnacle of cassette deck technology. I chose this piece because it combines vintage charm with exceptional audio quality, making it a must-have for audiophiles and collectors alike.

Key Features of the Nakamichi Dragon:

• Auto-Reverse Functionality: The Dragon was among the first to perfect the auto-reverse mechanism, ensuring the tape remains in perfect alignment for optimal playback on both sides.
• Asymmetrical Dual Capstan Design: This design reduces wow and flutter, resulting in more accurate tape playback.
• Playback Azimuth Correction (PAUSE) System: Automatically adjusts the playback azimuth to ensure the highest sound fidelity, even with tapes recorded on other machines.
• Three-Head Configuration: Offers separate heads for recording, playback, and erase, providing better monitoring and superior audio quality.
• Built-In Dolby B and C Noise Reduction: Reduces tape hiss while maintaining high-frequency detail, ensuring clearer, more dynamic sound.

• Frequency Response: 20 Hz – 22 kHz (+/-3 dB with metal tape)
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 72 dB (Dolby C on, metal tape)
• Wow and Flutter: Less than 0.04% WRMS
