Due to a change in circumstances I am living in a rented apartment for half the week. I have an iPod touch docked in a  Fatman iTube running into a pair of Beovox S45-2s for company and the results are superb!

A high end Nakamichi Autoreverse cassette deck.

Very clever mechanical reverse mechanism (flip).

Oh nice thread with a litte bit of blasphemy :-)

Besides all the B&O stuff, I only own a pair of superb Grado headphones (HF-2 model, special produced series for the Head-Fi.org community) on my Beosystem7000-Headphone-only-system. 

In terms of customer experience Grado sucks (long story...) but if you are interested in high end headphones, you may find them pretty good in the upper ranges of therir product portfolio.

Nakamichi RX-202?

I actually forgot my Teac A3300SX stereo and Teac A3340-S 4 channel reel to reel recorders. Which when combined with my Nakamichi High Com II Noise reducers give a very good quality!

 

Yes, Blackrix,

the RX-202.

I was so found of the Nakamichi decks in the 80's !

I've owned a lot (480Z, ZX7...) but only kept the RX.

Makes me think of B&O magic mechanical movements...

Practically all I listen to now - my Adam A7s. Say what you will about the appearances, they sound absolutely jaw-dropping! They're also used as monitors, not just for listening. Listening to Tristan und Isolde at the moment! I'd like to pit these against a pair of BeoLab 3s just for laughs (you'd be surprised what sort of level these speakers perform on).

Hi guys, just thought I would bring up an old thread and see if you had bought any new non-B&O equipment.

Me you ask? About a week ago I bought this.

A Yamaha P2201 power amp. It weighs 50lbs and makes 230wpc into 8 ohms, 350 wpc into 4 ohms, DC offset of 3.4mV (measured) and THD of  less than 0.05%, thermal cut-off at 130C. Right now it is pushing my JBL towers - effortlessly I might add!!! 😂

This makes me think I really am moving to the Dark Side 🙁 Oh wait a minute, forgot about the BS4500 commanding this thing! 😜
