Hey i'm out here looking for any Nakamichi dealers. U know any? The ones on their site never answer the phone, so if u know any personal ones shout at me. BTW, anyone had any experience with Nakamichi stuff before? Let me know how it was with what units. Specifically the CD-45z and the SP-S6500 if possible, but speak of other units like amplifiers as well. ------------- "I don't play games.

When I got my car it had a Nak. head unit and it wasn't the greatest. It had good sound quality but it had a tendency to skip alot. hope that helped. ------------- Fortune: You will continue to take chances, and be glad you did.

CD-45z was my head unit for five years. No problems and superb SQ. I recently upgraded to the MB-100 because I wanted a changer and the better D/A converter. I love Nakamichi electronics and use their heads exclusively in my personal cars. I also run their 4-channel mains amps. Their speakers are good quality but I personally am not fond of their sound (too thin in the lower mids, high end sounds brittle, and their subs are overpriced.) ------------- Support the12volt.com

i used Nak years ago when i was a dealer... ( anyone who remembers the TD-1200 raise your hands ) and i really liked it.... good SQ and functionality.... power amps were a tad underpowered, but you could run them wide open without any noticeable distortion.... definately not for the R&R crowd, but my jazz and classical customers loved them.....

CD-400 guy, what music do you listen to? I am very interested in everything u can bring to the table about the CD-400. So anyone here recommend me a good component for under $210 ??? I'm looking for some thing 40-70 RMS and 100-140 W peak. 91+db at 1w/m and good range of frequency. SILK TWEETERS ONLY.

I have a cd45z and think it is much better than most Alpines and Kenwoods out there. I think it is more skip- resistant than most, though it finally skipped for the first time in 3 years when I drove off a really deep pothole. In terms of music reproduction, it sounds like a fine home unit in that it recreates a surround-sound ambience, if that's your thing. Weak points are its tuner section. I think most radios made today easily outperform the Nak in that department. But for SQ it's hard to beat.
