Aiwa is still around, don't kill it off on your own

Even if it's still around, it's as good as dead to me. The Aiwa today is just in name only, nothing in quality.

Where is nakamichi now?

If u buy first gen Lexus LS400, they are equipped with Nakamichi. After that, they switched to Mark Levinson. The Nakamichi ones are damn awesome.

The old Subaru Legacy also with frameless windows also came with a superb Nakamichi stereo system.

NAKAMICHI is an overpriced brand. Their cheaper cousin is TEAC. AIWA used to be owned by SONY. NIKON is owned by MITSUBISHI. AKAI was also used to be owned by MITSUBISHI. I used to watch the famous Six Million Dollar Man and later, the Bionic Woman on our HMV black and white TV in the 70s.

Nakamichi is overpriced because they over-engineer their products. If you see the complexity of the mechanism in their tape decks you will understand. They are the only brand that lets user adjust proper azimuth to ensure optimal performance from each tape.

Overprice is something like Lexus, which is basically a glorified Toyota Crown.

TEAC was famous for their ‘meta’ cassette tapes. Costs 3 x the normal ones
Having a hi-fi set back then was a status symbol.
stacked up high with the sleek glass doors.
The graphic equaliser was such a novelty....would switch off all the lights just to watch the lights come alive.

I remember buying a desktop in the 90s that came Nakamichi speakers

Your speakers are only in Nakamichi name only. The Japanese pedigree has long gone.
Nakamichi are best known for their high-end cassette decks in 80s.

Dude it's metal, no meta. Teac metal tapes aren't that popular in Singapore. The best brands were TDK, Sony and Maxwell.

Akai hi-fi systems was super popular in the 70s and 80s. Those were the good old days when audio was a work of art.

AKAI was a very powerful brand back then.
And real solid state too.
