A specialist
audio equipment
manufacturer, founded in
1948 by
Etsuro Nakamichi. Most famous for their superior quality
cassette decks, they are highly
respected among music fans and hifi enthusiasts. They make
everything from in car systems to
CD-ROM drives, and will always be remembered for turning
Philips humble
dictation cassette format into a recording medium worthy of serious
hifi attention.
More recently they have branched out into so called
'lifestyle' hifi systems, with their
Soundscape range, to critical acclaim. Whether or not this is a
good thing depends on how much of a hifi
zealot you are. I for one own a Soundscape 8 system, and wouldn't trade it for anything.
