Der Nakamischi Dragon ist ein legendäres High End Tape Deck und zweifellos nebem dem Nakamichi 1000 ZXL das beeindruckenste Tape Deck das jemals gebaut wurde. Es wurde von 1983 bis 1993 produziert. Einzigartig war die automatische Azimutheinstellung NAAC.

== Comments ==
 
* The Nakamichi Dragon is a legendary high-end tape deck, and undoubtedly a very impressive tape deck alongside the [[Nakamichi 1000 ZXL]].
 
* Besides the [[Marantz SD 930]], it was the only tape deck with automatic azimuth adjustment during playback.
 
 
 
 
 
* Simpler Nakamichi models from the period at a similar level:
 
** [[Nakamichi CR-7 E]]
 
** [[Nakamichi CR-5 E]], with the CR-7 almost reaching the price level of the top-of-the-line machine with manual azimuth adjustment.
