I'm looking to buy a cassette deck ($300 - $400) range, possible local
(Columbus, OH) or mail order (ie: Illinois Audio, or Direct Sight and Sound
of Alanta).  Several choices I've had recommended are:
	1) JVC KD-V6          local ~$299        mail ~$229
	2) Nakamichi LX-3     local ~$599        mail ~$399
	3) Onkyo TA-2056      local ~$369
	4) Sony TC-K555       local ~$399        mail ~$329

As of right now I`m leaning towards the Nak and planning on buying
it mail order.  Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated 
especially from owners of the above decks, or people who have bought
from Direct Sight and Sound (they have a smallish add in the back of
Stereo Review Mar 85).

A salesman trying to put down the Nak mentioned that Nak aligns
the heads on their decks different from most other decks, is this
true? Isn`t there some kind of standard?

Please reply directly to me unless of interest to all.
