Enter the "Nakamichi Dragon"!




>the world's first fully automatic playback head azimuth alignment system NAAC (Nakamichi Auto Azimuth Correction) and its incorporation in the world's first dual capstan, double direct drive, auto playback reverse, discrete 3 head cassette deck.

> unique double direct drive system employs two Nakamichi quartz PLL servo Super Linear Torque DD motors one for each capstan so that wow & flutter are essentially eliminated while maintaining perfect transport stability in both forward and reverse directions.


Congratulations, brother Lawrence !!  8)

It depends what sansui amp yung naka hook, but most of the time sound character ng sansui are power with finesse. Warm and yet detailed. IMHO. That's why I'm a die hard sansui guy!
