ZX-9 Zx 9 is one of if not the best recording cassette deck ever made. Reliabilty and classy look makes it the ultimate choice for any cassette fan. I had many decks and i compare it to many but there is no need to buy different deck even dragon or zxl Series. If if you have possibility try it. The prices are high but not too many left in good shape. People dont know how the cassette may sound until they try one of top Naks. Naks forever:) zx-7
