That LiL Nak deck was a wonder , cars and music bootleg both |
Patty Griffin- Servant of Love

I probably told this story but we displayed/stocked the massive ADS2030 and probably sold four or five pair - maybe more.... massive speaker for its time - still today. One night, slow night we had enough Hafler gear laying around to Tri-amp them: Peter Gabriel 4 was just out - yowsa did it sound great with DH500 on the bottom end...
fun but they need a big room |

The Pineapple Thief are fast becoming one of my top go to modern prog rock bands along with Spock’s Beard and Riverside.
All great musicianship and nearly all superb recordings.
As Spirit said, very easy to pick out instruments, not just a big mush of sound.
Think I have 8 of their albums on vinyl now.... lol |
@tomic601 ,
The TD-700 had the manual head adjustment feature. The only other Nak deck w/ that, to my knowledge was the 1200. The 1200 eschewed the auto-reverse, for the more be prescise manual flip. Makes perfect sense. The tape head being stable.
I had a friend with a 70s Oldsmobile 442. It had a factory cassette deck with that same feature. Wow!
|
So at that time in history, someone in car manufacturing had enough pull to integrate this feature that even now would not be seen as having value. |
I had a high end Concord deck in my Camaro |
Re: The Pineapple Thief;
Catch the connection to Porcupine Tree and Stephen Wilson. Catch the Drummer Gavin Harrison. Catch the time signature if you can. Catch the culmination of musical ideas on the album “Dissolution”. Catch the Mystery. Catch the Drift.... |
The stereo I put in my first car cost quite a lot more than the car. Coaxials on the back deck baby -made cassettes sound so good.
@uber John Klemmer was the make out music of choice in that car. |
Remember that manual flip of the cassette! We could do it with our eyes closed. |
"Earthbound Blues" John Moreland freshly cleaned |
.....and it all comes back to RUSH |

Streaming HiRez The Pineapple Thief on Qobuz.... very nice.... suits my dark moody sulk.... |
I had forgotten about that brand! (Concord).. Is that an omen? |
|
@tomic601 ,
I've come to realize that you're a more tortured soul than I ever realized. |
I have my positive attributes, for example I drink too much and I like fast cars.... |
I think that most of us who LOVE music have a tortured soul. Then it becomes the degrees, and how that could be measured. |
Well, I love that about you, my friend. |
You've posted in the past that you feel blessed. I truly believe in that and I believe you are blessed. |
Lucinda Williams "Blessed" |
I had a Concord "front loading" deck in my tricked-out '73 Super Beetle. Not many "Cal Look" Beetles in KY back in the day, but that's what I drove.
I also later had a Nak RX-202 that flipped that had the turntable that flipped the tape around to reverse it. Crazy.......... |
The Moody Blues - "In Search of the Lost Chord" |
@gliderman2m - Welcome to the "What's on your Turntable tonight?" thread. Keep 'em coming....... |
I remember that deck@reubent. Nakamichi was a company way ahead of it's time.
Forward thinkers. |

I had a coach and mentor at Boeing, a retired NASA guy, like one of the first couple hundred guys at NAcA then NASA - a sharp dude five or six basic rocket patents - by basic I mean like foundation stuff that got us to orbit, then the moon, then home ( alive )... he always remarked about my career “ Jim you got a lucky horseshoe up your ass, eventually you will get there !”
on thinking about it, I always preferred “ blessed “... ha
