Nakamichi PA-7 KEEPER??

Buy a Threshold those Naks are great for the money but for another $800.00 you can have real real amp that will sound much better than the Nak or the Rotel. Here is a link for a decent deal on a Threshold here on audiogone. If that is too much money the second link is a great deal and for sure will sound better than the Nak, Adcom, Rotel and any other MidFi amp.

bairdz. This has no relevance here but you made mention in an ad that you might have some b and o cartridge adapters in inventory. If so would you be kind enough to contact me at kevintrux@gmail.com

I had a Forte' 55 that sounded amazing, but I was always concerned about the age thing (built in maybe 1997)...it wasn't expensive and I sold it for nearly twice what I bought it for, but that sort of worry can be bothersome. Upgrades can be costly, replacing leaky caps...meh...I bought a new tube amp to replace it so it was a different direction, but the warranty on new stuff does add to my peace of mind. Pass had something to do with certain Adcom amps and my experience of owning a few of these is that they can be workhorse amps that sound pretty damn good. I use one for outdoor speakers now.

I have an opportunity to buy one of these now… thought I'd bump this up. WOuld love to hear anyone else's opinions.

You won't go wrong buying a used Nakamichi PA-7. It shouldn't be too expensive considering the age. Buy it. A few years from now, you'll be thanking me on this forum.
