I concur with Ed's review----the Nakamichi product is supurb---years ago I owned a Lexus vehicle with a Nakamichi stereo---amazing, even stunning---I have owned too many obscenly priced cars (cars, radios, boats---mea culpa)of virtually all brands, yet none of the audio systems came close to the wonderful Nakamichi---from an engineering standpoint Ed, just wondering if you might opine as to what it is about their product that makes it so---as the years have piled on, and college expenses loom (in a nice way?...) for my daughter, ive gone the thorstein veblen route of trying like hell to avoid conspicuous consumption as i try in vain to avoid the junk and finally obtain satisfaction in the "perfect" (read: satisfactory in all ways)products----Nakamichi was one of those experiences where I just want to go 'backwards', at least as time goes......wait, whats that you say? sangean is updating the 909?? and a new recording radio too? in the end, like Jay Gatsby looking out at that damn green light across the water, the desire is unrelenting but the object/goal ever unobtainable. thanks for the memory of a fine product (and what seemed like simpler times.....)
