Very nice. A stroll down memory lane.

Nakamichi shouldn't have gone out of business with all the money I sent their way! I had a Nakamichi cassette receiver in my 1982 Audi Coupé. I had their separates Tuner, Pre-amp, and Class-A Amplifier. Someone paid me for the Amp, but I still have the tuner and pre-amp in the basement, along with the Nakamichi head unit. I had used Nakamichi cassette decks over the years, too. Nothing like a Dragon or 1000, simpler, cheaper 500-series units.

(my setup circa 1980 with my B&O 6000 Tangental tracking turntable, Nakamichi 580 cassette deck, Yamaha A-1 Integrated Amplifier,, and Yamaha T-1 tuner.)​

I had the Nakamichi LX-5 cassette deck, Pioneer and Marantz book shelf speakers, Technics turntable and Pioneer receiver later getting standalone Carver amps and a pre-amp to run. (still have the Carvers)I can't remember which CD player I had but it was early on also...

Old friend and neighbor growing up brought his system back from Thailand, I was impressed with his reel to reel player, never got one though. (he was Air Force dog handler there(Vietnam war))

My brother bought my AKAI receiver/amp. Said it's the answer word to the Klan challenge word AYAK.
