Older Nakamichi Gear ?? Stasis ??


Hi-

I'd like to get a simple system that is very warm
sounding. I'm specifically looking at older (used)
Nakamichi receivers and CD players. I am thinking
about a Nakamichi RE-2 Reciever with MB-2S CD player
or an SR-4A with OMS-7AII. I want it to be a simple
2 piece system and I want to use just one remote. Now
for my questions...

The SR-4A used a "Stasis" design. The RE-2 did not.
How did this affect the sound? I would think the SR-4A
is a warmer sound based on having a "Stasis" design???
Which model sounded better?

On the CD player side, which sounded better, the OMS-7AII
or the MB-2S ??

Thanks
Tom

I have owned a Stasis Amp, the PA-7. The Stasis and Class A output gave a nice warm sound that was also very dynamic. Strangely enough, in their second appearance, as in the Model IIs, as Viggen pointed out, several people state that the sound is not quite as nice or comparable to the original models. If you are to get a NAK receiver, get the SR-4A and avoid the newer models.
