Yes, Nakamichi uses a slightly different head alignment procedure that do most
other manufacturers, but it should not result in a significant difference in
most cases - it certainly should not deter you from getting a Nak deck - the
Nak decks tend to be so much better than the competition that tapes will still
sound better with them.  I have not noticed any significant problems playing
pre-recorded tapes or importing/exporting tapes from my Nak 680ZX to other
cassette decks.
BTW, I believe Nak uses the CORRECT procedure and the other guys are wrong
(correct me if I'm wrong on this) for head alignment.
