So what can Brown do for you? They just brought me a whole crapload of new Nak gear. Was due to arrive on Monday but the CDN distributor got it out the door a day early. Nice new cd players and amps. The basic concept of the cd's is the same but preout voltage has been upped and the outputs are now no-clipping. The new 500w 1 ohm class D amp is way cool. Very similar in size to the Concept HP65.4 except it is a nice gun metal with polished highlights. Must go unpack the balance of the order to see what other treasures I can uncover.

Good to see them back in business and going hardcore. I guess that their company buyout has paid off big time for them. Western Canada are the first dealers to get the product due to the North American importer being in Vancouver, a whole whopping 2 hours away from me. Eastern Canada dealers will expect their product in about 5 business days.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Thanks for the update, Rob.  I hope Grande decides to allow US distribution for Nakamichi, but I hear the line will be branded Akai here below the border.

Is it true that some of the new heads have true 24-bit LCD screens that can be interfaced with iPods for video upload?

US distribution will follow at the end of this month once all the importing issues are resolved later this week, (at least that's what Jeff told me).The new heads are infact exactly what you mentioned and they are saaaaweeeeeeet. They look very nce in the display right next to our Eclipse heads.

Yea, they apparently lisenced that technology from Audiovox.  Should be interesting, and quite a departure from the old-style Nak HU design.
