Would have thought you can pick up an A77 for that sort of dough.
Not tested against an Akai but I imagine far better SQ

I sold an Akai GX625 for £100 a year back and its still going strong as far as I know they are a great sounding deck for the money
Here is a better model for £299

If I ever get round to finishing my A77 £250 would be all I would ask for it, its 90% recapped at the min

Yes I was lucky enough to get my TD20A for only £175. Great machine.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

I would choose a Tandberg over most Akai machines, but it depends on whether you want full 10.5" spool cabability.
I paid £500 for my Nagra IV-S, however that was 10 years ago.

Another 'hbchjhgv gfvgg bh'that won't post to Northern Ireland, and what is this 'Doesn't post to United Kingdom' they are based in the United Kingdom.
Anyway a Revox A77 would be my suggestion, doable for about your budget.
