I am going to buy a tape deck in the near future and am seriously considering
buying a Nakamichi.  Before I actually purchase this deck I would like to have
a few questions answered and would appreciate any help that you can give me.

     The deck that I want to buy is either the BX-150 (someone told me that 
deck is no longer in production and its equivilent is the BX-125), or the 
BX-300.  I would like to build a stereo system that I can keep, and enjoy
for many years to come; because of this price is not nearly as important as
quality.  Right now I would like to be able to make high quality dubbs from LPs
and eventaully CDs, the primary use of the tapes will be in my car, and at 
home.  Now for my questions. Is Nakamichi really all that good (I tried to 
locate reviews of the BX-300 and BX-150,but could not find any)? Are there 
other brands that preform as well or better? How much more/less do the cost?
Finally can someone suggest a good book or magazine to read so that I will be
able to KNOW what I am getting into (something that explains if I can hear 
.029% THD, etc. )?

    Thank you for any help.
