Nakamichi is almost synonymous with cassette decks, but one quick look at the 680ZX and you'll know we're talking about a serious machine. This piece has an almost indestructible feel to it, with engraved metal transport buttons, and an interface devoid of gimmick. Two speeds, using the famous second generation Nakamichi transport, this piece is in excellent condition.

- Liner Notes
No tone makes 680ZX sweat under it’s dark metal skin. No music makes it try hard – everything is just a game for it and he is a very old player with great experience.

Three dimensional stage is perfect and timbre and rhythm are perfect. Listener can actually feel the air around single instruments.
