Yep, our German friend Lutz (Lucky) who has always owned a (ANT-modded I thought?) Dragon, but has said that the NAD 6300 is better, and the NAD 6100 is on par with the Dragon. I can agree, since even the crappiest tapes I threw at it didn't sound nearly as crappy as on other decks. :mrgreen: Anyways, Lutz gave me this one for free as a gift, and I've made it my main deck ever since.
Also, about the last tape, here is the section where Jed shouts out some TapeHeads users, incase you'd like to hear it.

Just so that this thread isn't cursed for life by being killed by a banned member, I am happy to say I got my early NOS TDK SA-X C-90 #2 a few daze ago from Mike Shotwell plus couple of tapes he recorded for me.

Think I recognize a lot of those tapes. you're welcome again. It'll take some time to rebuild my 'arsenal' to that level again...

Thanks Steve, they have gone to a good home. Had a nice recording marathon, stocking up for when I will be away from home.

That SA 100 has to be my favorite model of TDK tape. Love me them Denon's too. Nice selection of tape D2.

Cheers ben, yeah they all sound great, not using any noise reduction, hiss is very low even on the Sony walkman

Whacked a 10" reel of 407 in half and made a 7" reel of early Elton John tunes that would be 70s-era FM radio-worthy and used the second 7" reel for my favorite tunes from Eva Cassidy's Nightbird live album.

In our used tape pile I found and played Porter Waggoner's "Blue Moon of Kentucky" recorded to red oxide BASF at 7.5 ips. The recording is in great shape and some of the music is lots of fun. I am not a hard core country guy either!
