The Nakamichi 480 is a high end two head cassette deck from the late 70ties. It comes with Dolby B noise reduction, Manual Tape Type Selection and two lit upside down analog VU meters. Nakamichis Cassette Decks are legendary. There is not much that comes close to build quality and especially performance. For the best possible listening experience of the cassette medium, there is just no way around a Nakamichi.
