Two Big Audio magazine nominated Pioneer T1000S as the Reference Cassette deck as the only one.
In Short Pioneer T1000S is better in performance than Dragon.
But few people know about it and Dragon has been in the market for 13 years and was famous and its price is 2 times higher than Pioneer, so most people think Dragon is better deck than Pioneer T1000S.
This is purely my personal experience on this only, all are great decks.
I think price will be up tomorrow.
