Product Description
The Nakamichi 580 was designed for the demanding music enthusiast as well as professional users. The unit features a precision transport mechanism, an advanced servo-controlled motor, and excellent tape guidance, resulting in minimal wear and highly accurate tracking. The sound is rich, natural, and open, with a level of detail that many modern decks struggle to match.
Although this is a 2-head deck, it delivers recording quality that rivals many more expensive 3-head models. Thanks to its precise construction and extremely low wow and flutter, the deck offers remarkably stable and musical playback. The VU meters with separate peak indicators allow for accurate level adjustment during recording.
This particular unit has been thoroughly refurbished. Technically, everything functions as it should, including the transport, drive system, and controls. The touch-sensitive buttons show some light fingerprints and signs of use, which is consistent with its age, but overall the deck still presents very well.
A rare opportunity to acquire this classic Nakamichi deck in good working condition — ideal for collectors or for anyone who simply wants to enjoy the warm, authentic sound of high-quality analog cassette playback.
