I am not qualified to tell you the technical difference. But I find that while the NASB uses the best manuscripts available (as does the NIV) and modern English (again as does the NIV) to translate the words from the original Greek, Hebrew and Chaldean, it tends to do so in a manner that is a lot closer to the majesty and cadence of the KJV, which I happen to like. Dr. Charles Stanley calls the NASB the most accurate translation of all. From what I have learned, I would agree.
