Nakamichi RE-10

Wow.. Friends This Is Amazing Stereo Amplifier....Its Hard to Find Any Words To Discribe It. I Love This Unit. Its vary Powerful And Hard Sonding. Its The Unit Suits For Music Lovers. I Recommend To Any One.

This is the best amplifier you can afford if you are not a rich person.

The sound of this amplifier is extremely high quality. It will take you into a new dimension of high quality sound which you might have not heard before.

I own only one piece of this amplifier but I want to buy more to keep them in locker for future use.

The tonal color and octive range is perfect. I would recommend this receiver to everyone musical preference notwithstading.

Till recently I was using a Marantz integerated amp PM 57 (50 Watts rms)but its performance left much to be desired.

The marantz amp no doubt had an excellent stereo imaging but the power output was meagre and the bass response was almost non-existant - it had a brighter response and one felt a need for an equalizer.

This led me to sell it and go for the Nak RE-10. The Nak brought a sea change in my listening experience - the lows, highs and mid-range all came out well and gave me hours of listening pleasure without any fatigue. The bass is tight and without any distortion. The power is unlimited and for my midsize room, I hardly go above the 10 o'clock. The contour(loudness) switch boosts the lows and highs appreciably and is a pleasure at low listening volumes. Overall a great amp with good looks, sturdy design and excellent audio quality - a winner all the way . Recommended for 2-channel stereo lovers.

A no-nonsense amp with less frills but sufficient features and good value for money. Well done Nakamichi.

I purchased this Nakamichi RE-10 receiver on July 26, 2002 as a second receiver in a bedroom system to be dedicated to recording FM on a Pioneer RT-909 reel-to-reel. I dub the reels onto minidisc, crop everything, and digitally copy to CD. There is one college/ high school station in Broward County (as opposed to about fifteen in New Haven, my old home town) and it is very weak. I specifically purchased a Pioneer SX-1250 and a Carver TX-2 tuner for another system so I could pick up this station. The Nakamichi R-10 picks up this station with a WIRE antenna, in stereo, with very little noise. The two other systems are using a Terk amplified antenna and sound comparable.

Other areas of this receiver that I consider outstanding are the amplifier, the remote sensitivity, the build quality, and its looks. Even the power cord is high quality. I consider this receiver a high end component, worthy of a $400.00 price tag.

This receiver is a two channel stereo unit. The 100 w/pc RMS power amplifier is ample for driving most speaker requirements. The RE-10 has a line level output for powered sub-woofer(s). The front panle is simple and un-cluttered compared to many of todays receivers with digital type controls. Conventional rotary controls are used for Bass, Treble, Balance & Volume. All other functions controlled by push buttons on the front panel which is a clean, functional layout. Most important feature to me is a Loudness button for boosting Bass & Treble. This item is lacking in many integrated amps & receivers today. The overall sound quality is excellent and exceptionally clean across the entire range. I compared this unit to Marantz, McIntosh, Dennon, Yamaha and several others. I rejected the others because of a lack of a true Loudness Contour Control.Although there are 6 line level inputs the RE-10 lacks a Magnetic Phono Input. It also has an internal cooling fan which does make a slight ( although very quiet ) noise when the unit is on.After spending several months looking for new equipment to replace my 10 year old receivers, I chose the Nakamichi RE-10. I use two of them as my requirements call for multiple amplifiers in the playback system. The RE-10 is a 2 channel unit. For those requiring surround sound this unit has two similar models in the Nakamichi AV Series of receivers. The AV models are similar to the RE-10 in appearance with the additional features required for an AV Surround System.Although Nakamichi has been abscent from the UK market for a few years, it is now being distributed in the UK once again. i feel this unit is well worth considering & auditioning at an authorised Nakamichi Dealer.
