Does anybody own this gem from 1978? Nakamichi Tape Deck with 80 watt speakers that have six tiny, super performance amplifiers built in. The ADS 2002 looks like an early entry into portable boomboxes using a traditional looking Nakamichi Tape Deck. Is anyone familar with this Nakamichi and is it stereo?
Should be Stereo. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nakamichi-...087125?hash=item4b6df17215:g:zpcAAOSwY-NdvSLz https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/ads-2002-bi-ampflified-speakers.46183/
This is from your Ebay Listing Mystic Traveller, you have to love an over-engineered piece of audio from the 70's. It looks like you need the whole system for it to work, the huge power supply and the odd cables, are those European Standard? It looks like Nakamichi might have beat Sony to the stereo portable cassette world. I'll have to do some research on this system and see if I can dig up some more info.
The speakers have built in amplification, this ad shows one without the back cover from 1976. Just browsing around other forums and it looks like this had a good reputation but it was $700.00 USD when new, using the inflation calculator, that clocks in at $3100 USD today. Other press releases seem to indicate that Nakamichi built the model 250 for this system.
A Nakamichi Ad lists both the 350 and 250 cassette players as part of this system. It looks like they were only sold as a set with the ADS Power Supply.
