I just read this review of the Nagaoka MP 700

excerpt, amazing Imaging Specs, and descriptions to convey how it sounds.
"Otherwise, output is a medium 3.8mV (re. 1kHz/5cm/sec), channel balance is far tighter than the spec’d 1dB at 0.3dB and channel separation is a huge 40dB through the midrange. The asymmetry between lateral vs. vertical responses [black vs. red, Graph 1] emphasises strong central stereo images, the latter with a ‘brighter’ +1.3dB treble lift, the former dropping to –2.5dB/20kHz. The stereo response [dotted trace] is remarkably uniform and extended with a mild –1dB decline from 1kHz down to 20Hz and a ‘flat’ ±0.5dB above 1kHz, reaching well beyond 20kHz. Distortion is exceptionally low [Graph 2] achieving a sub-3% stereo THD from 20Hz-20kHz (–8dB re. 5cm/sec) and a peak of <7% at ~10kHz from vertical (L-R) cuts. A worthy flagship!"
