What do you think of Nakamichi in general ?

I bought an SS3 wich is a small cute alarm clock/cd player for my parents at their 25th wedding anniversary..
they love it..and i do to!

It is really small..convenient..as so many features i am still finding some new stuff about them eheh :)
and + they sound great for a really really small ( sub 1" speakers and a 4 mini bass unit )

There is an optical output on this unit, md recorder output..gold plated rca input ..light sensor for dimming display..battery back up for interrupt electricity ...

neway what i wanna come to is that i find the overall build quality and ingeniosity rather exceptional!!
for an article that isn't too much overpriced ( paid 220$ brand new )

So what do you think of Nakamichi as a brand ?
Are there products good products ?

I was thinking of buying a SS11 for the living room for my parents..they aren't relaly audiphiles but they like great sounding..and + the nakamichi is all easy to operate cause it is all link within 1 controller ..

and they are really but really not good with electronics :p
hehe

I also am looking for a nakamichi cd player..MB8 or MB10 used..for myself..what do you think ? ( sub 300$ with 5 discs)

so ..that's it..
please jsut leave comments about how u feel in general about Nakamichi products..and ur experiences with them . :)

thank you!

How much do you want to spend for a CD player? One of the best bangs for your buck for a low cost brand new player is the $400 Cambridge Audio D500SE.

I had a new high end ES Line Sony Cassette Deck when I decided to get a DR-10 Nak Deck when they were going cheap. Wow, this is such a Night and Day contrast I could hardly believe it. It seemed, by comparison, I was listening to music with cotton im my ears when listening to the Sony. Sure you had tons of convenience features but why have a deck if it does not first deliver first rate sound as it first priority. I can honestly say that I prefer the sound of my Nak DR10 to recordings made from my more expensive Pioneer Elite CD Recorder. Lets get back to getting off our butts to flip a record or cassette or adjust volume so we don't have to sacrifice sound quality and dump the efforts of formerly great companies like Nakamichi.

I have a lot of experince with the Nak stuff. Had receiver, tape decks, and even the early MusicBank CD Player. I can tell you that the tape decks are incredible, best or near the best (with Revox and Tandberg). I still have an RX-505 and it makes more musical copies than a CR-R. The other stuff is all lofi junk. The CD players have lose belts and the drawers fail after a few years. The recievers sound lousy and lack power. The only acceptable non-tape product was the threshold-licensed STASIS power amps, which were overpiced at the time but which can be had for a normal pice now.
