Would like your expert opinion please

I have the legendary Yamaha M80 amp with a Nakamichi CA-7A preamp playing from the Nak Dragon cassette deck or my Nak M1 Music Bank CD player. I run four Boston Acoustics A-150's. I think my system sounds great but am considering buying a Nakamichi PA-7AII amp to match my setup. In your opinion, which amp will perform better, the Yahmaha or the Nak. Also, which is built better. Thanks

I meant it may be due for new electrolytic caps.

The Nakamichi might have more higher end detail. The only problem you might run into is they're over 20 years old. I don't remember if they're warm running , plus how hard it was driven. Good caps last long in my experience, but if they were exposed to a lot of heat, it may be getting do for new caps.

This thread sounds familiar, and recently familiar at that.
Anyway, get the Nakamichi. The PA-5/PA-7s are bulletproof.
You'll be glad that you kept your system all Nak. Nothing
wrong with the Yamaha but I believe you will be happier with the Nakamichi.
