The Nakamichi BX-2 is a very good sounding 2-head cassette deck that comes with Dolby B & C. Nakamichi’s heads were far ahead of what the competition was using back in the days. If you listen to a Nakamichi deck that’s immediately obvious. The BX-2 performs like a top of the line 3-head deck by costing less than half of it.
To make this BX-2 perform within specs it received the below service:
- Replacement of capstan belt
- Replacement of idler tyre
- Lubrication of moving parts
- Cleaning of heads
- Cleanong of capstan with chemical
- Demagnetisation of heads and capstan
- Speed calibration
- Full function test
Below is a test recordig made with the BX-2 and played back by it:
Description
Today’s budget-conscious audiophile is faced with a difficult decision. As costs sky rocket, the price of high-quality sound is slipping beyond the reach of many music lovers.
Must they sacrifice performance to stay within budget? We don’t think so, and as proof, we offer the BX-2!
Many low-cost cassette recorders offer numerous features, but, when you listen to them, something is missing. Sound lacks clarity; detail is lost in a confused muddy homogeneity, and all the knobs and controls in the world don’t rescue it.
What is lacking is basic performance, the sine qua non of high-fidelity reproduction. So much has been spent on features – many of which will never be used – that little is left to ensure quality.
The BX-2 is different. Emphasis is on sonic excellence, not bells and whistles; on clean elegant styling, not superfluous knobs. Compare the sound of the BX-2 with competitively priced models. We’re confident you’ll hear the difference quality makes!
