Sorry to post so much as a newbie,but I may be able to get a Nak PA-5 Stasis amp for around $200.00. Any opinions from the group? At one time I had a Nakamichi ZX9 cassette deck and it was top-o-the line-still is ,in fact.I know the Stasis technology was licensed from Threshold (Nelson Pass) but I don't know when Nak started to slide into "consumer electronics". BTW,I appreciate the forum's patience with my sponge-like assault on knowledge.Thanks to all.

I used to own that amp, well the PA-5 II . Really rock-solid, powerful and transparent. Can drive almost any load, and beautiful build quality. A classic from the Nakamichi golden years.

Thanks! So,do you think $200 is a good deal on the amp? It will end up powering a "starter" system for my daughter who loves music and isn't allowed to touch my stereo!Also looking at NAD 2200 and 2400 around the same price but I have no personal experience with NAD. If the Nak amp is half as good as their mid 80's cassette decks I'll be elated.Thanks again for the input,it helps a lot.Lee

Hey everybody, I was given a Nakamichi Receiver 1 by a friend to test out before I built him some speakers, but the receiver is just too powerful I fear.
It's rated at 80WPC, and I've tested it on my main speakers, the North Seas (8" 2-way) that I built a little while back, and... -

I am strongly considering the purchase of a pair of 602's but I have some concerns that I might be disapointed in how they match up with my venerable Nakamichi AV8 amp. Any thoughts on if I should be considering a new or separate amp for the 602's?

Well I've had my NAD M51 for over a week so far using it everyday and I figured I'd post up some impressions and opinions on the DAC. First I will say that my unit is a factory (NAD) refurbished which saved a few hundred bucks on the unit. I ordered it from SpearIt Sound up in Massachusetts and they...
