I spoke before I even went to their website, but now I did, and it looks like their glory days are long over. The only product that they offer is a crappy surround system.

There is the market for well recognized names. Bell & Howell is a great example. I laughed really hard at that one. Also, the Japanese company I worked for Sharp Corp. was purchased in part for the Sharp name by the Chinese company Hanhai.

too bad

I play Nakamichi 682ZX deck almost every day. Sure, my Nottingham Spacedeck sounds better but tape even in a cassette has its appeal. I also use Panasonic AG-7350 SVHS to play music. So, I miss nothing, I have it. What else should I add to this analog only set up. The answer is obvious - R2R two track.
