I regularly used to flick from source to monitor when recording on my
Nakamichi 582 and was always pretty staggered at how little difference
there was. Subjectively, there didn't seem any difference to the top
end.

One of the main problems with cassettes relates to azimuth errors - from a
variety of reasons including the tape itself. You don't get these - or
shouldn't - when off tape monitoring. Same with the Dolby encoding.


Also bear in mind the Nak had (easily) adjustable azimuth, bias and Dolby
"level".

I still kick myself sometimes for selling it.

You'll get far better performance from a MiniDisc at a fraction of the
price. And those don't vary from machine to machine.

Oh, I know, or indeed my Mac iBook. But I did like the Nak.
