Nakamichi CR-5 cassette deck here. $1700 new. Only the Dragon and the CR-7 (better than the Dragon) could better it. The ZXL1000 came close.

because the mfing tubes or power supply went out.

I have some great tapes that I still enjoy listening to. - Guess I need to xfer them to digital as some are from the days of KSAN (Bay Area Rock radio with some live stuff- went to country in ~ early 80s)

NAD seperates, Arcam Alpha CD, Energy Conniseur speakers, Van Den hull spkr cable, maestro interconnects with vampire ends etc......

Sounds like a sweet setup. Maybe,like me, you listen to more music in my car than at home, but still... Fire that b!tch up! :)

the XM radio feed or MP3's playing through my Monsoon ribbons or I'm in the HT hanging out - the audiophile system is in the living room which is only used when we have guests..

... from when I was still running one amp per channel.
