Older Nakamichi Gear ?? Stasis ??


Hi-

I'd like to get a simple system that is very warm
sounding. I'm specifically looking at older (used)
Nakamichi receivers and CD players. I am thinking
about a Nakamichi RE-2 Reciever with MB-2S CD player
or an SR-4A with OMS-7AII. I want it to be a simple
2 piece system and I want to use just one remote. Now
for my questions...

The SR-4A used a "Stasis" design. The RE-2 did not.
How did this affect the sound? I would think the SR-4A
is a warmer sound based on having a "Stasis" design???
Which model sounded better?

On the CD player side, which sounded better, the OMS-7AII
or the MB-2S ??

Thanks
Tom

Not sure about the CD players, but go with the SR or TA series. Stay AWAY from the RE.
RE stuff is junk. The older TA and SR series along with tape decks built around that same era was when Nak was making their best stuff. Difference between the two, I don't know. SR is older.
I own a Nak CD Player 1 and still use it as my transport. It is 1991 vintage and it is still outstanding today.
I've owned alot of Nakamichi gear through the years and neither I nor anyone else who I've seen characterize their systems have mentioned that they are warm sounding.
