[QUOTE="s class, post: 157813, member: 1168"] ReVox / Studer vs Nak is an old arguement that will never be won. Over at Naktalk.com (a very serious lunatic-fringe Nak community), most participants are obviously nak freaks and own multiple decks. It is however interesting that a significant number of them also own one ReVox. The ReVox is more solidly built, and lends its self to the pro field (in the Studer guise), but I think it is generally accepted that Naks : a) have more extended treble response b) are more capable in dealing with varying cassette quality due to auto azimuth alignment (of rec head on ZX models, PB head on Dragon, CR7, CassetteDeck 1 and 1.5) c) have better head life due to the pressure pad lifter (on 3 head models) So a Nak is probably a better choice for a home enthusiast. Naks are actually comparatively easy to maintain because of good availability of belt kits etc, and the well established enthusiast community that harbours a pretty intimidating body of knowledge about service and repair issues.
