Rick Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) I've never seen or heard of this model, anyone else? It looks pretty cool if you ask me... http://syracuse.craigslist.org/ele/4363178647.html Description The Nakamichi 610 was created to fill an often expressed gap in the consumer audio market. It is a remarkably flexible control center that must be considered truly unique by any standard. It's uniqueness stems not only from its amazing features, but from its even more amazing performance as well. It does, after all, carry the Nakamichi brand name. To some audiophiles, no more need be said. But there is more - much more. First and foremost, the Nakamichi 610 is a state-of-the-art preamplifier. This much overused phrase can certainly be applied to a preamplifier with noise level so close to the theoretical limit and distortion so low that these parameters can barely be measured with today's best available test equipment. Specifications only begin to tell the story. Secondly, the Nakamichi 610 is a relatively sophisticated test instrument. Built-in test tone oscillators, pink noise generator, phase checkers and precision dB meters, just to name a few, make the 610 an invaluable tool in the calibration, alignment and evaluation of stereo system components. Special switching features facilitate the A/B comparison of phono cartridges, tape decks, power amplifiers, loudspeakers, etc. Last, but not least, the Nakamichi 610 is a mixing console. It allows 5 in/2 out mixing of any of 19 different inputs. This includes 5 wide-dynamic-range microphone inputs. One can, for example, mix two tape decks (stereo, of course) plus center channel voice onto a third tape deck, or two phonographs plus voice, or any combination of these sources. Live recording takes on a new dimension with the 610: with two left, two right and one blend microphone inputs the live recordist can produce some very professional results. The Nakamichi 610, in short, will become a must for the serious audiophile. Even the audiophile who has everything will wonder how he ever managed to do without the 610. Specifications Frequency Response: 20 to 100,000Hz Signal to noise ratio: better than 85dB Residual noise level: 7mV Distortion: less than 0.005% Edited March 7, 2014 by Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBPK402 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I remember looking at the 610 years ago... Almost bought one too! It was a real nice preamp IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Based on ones that have recently sold, it appears that his price is reasonable: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=nakamichi+610&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc Edited March 7, 2014 by Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
