nakamichi cd-700ii

does anyone have any experience with this particular source-unit??

ive been in love with it for a good couple years now (along with the clarion drz9255)..i think its probably one of the most physicaly elegant source-units ive ever seen, other than a denon z1.

i know this has been asked before a couple of times, ive searched, but no one seems to know much about it..

so, i thought id try again..

what does that unit run for and where can you pick one up? I just looked on there website and it looks pretty impressive. I was thinking about getting the DRZ9255 but if i can find a place where I can play around w/ one of these I may change my mind.

yea... the funny part i would always tell him its to loud when i was lil...now i love it loud...and since mustangs back in the day where all matel he didn't need roadkill cuz the matel was soo thick it would rattle so bad like cars now-a-days....

Thats pretty high! How much better than the 9255 do you think it is? Is it worth that much money?

thats what im saying...

it does sport 24-bit d/a converters..thats really nice.

it does have cd-changer control..

aluminum face-plate and knob..

i just love the way it looks...you wont get a much more stock-look than the cd-700ii..

One of the best things about it is the volume knob is super-warm to the touch because of the internal electronics. Super-classy unit, but for $1700 it better freekin' be.
