Lines: 32 I am in the process of purchasing a cassette deck and have run across two decks that look particularly interesting. Both decks have strengths and weaknesses, and I flip-flop from day to day on which has the most going for it. Since both decks have different features and price ranges, perhaps a direct comparison is not possible. However if anyone has any information on either deck, either from first-hand experience or any other channel I would welcome it. Below are the two decks with a list of features that first caught my eye. Nakamichi RX-505 (list ~ $1050) Auto-Reversing with care taken not to disturb azimuth (unidirectional auto- reverse) Three head (monitor capability) Audible cueing Auto Fader Frequency response that is flat out to 20 KHz with Dolby C (at least if you believe reviews in High Fidelity and Stereo Review) Teac V-900X (list ~ $800) Microphone inputs Three head Auto Fader with continuously variable fade time Real time tape counter dbx I also welcome any views on the effectiveness/drawbacks of dbx. Thanks, ...ihnp4!tellab1!tellab2!tellab3!grj
