Reviews

• In 1981, the unit came with Dolby C and LED level meter as Nakamichi 582 Z
• Except for the necessary change of the total of 3 drive belts and the somewhat laborious replacement of the " Edler Tire ", a rubber tire for the drive of the tape rewind, the device is quite usable for several decades.

• Thereby it is a real Hifi device with excellent sound characteristics.
• Especially if you want to deal a little with the technology of analog sound recording.
