Re: Nakamichi bliss!
I forgot , in my ramble, the best feature of the Nakamichi CR7E after the auto line up was the little black knob on the machine marked Azimuth! Tweaking this caused the display to change to a row of markers which were highlighted as one turns the control from centre, left or right. A small buzzing sound from inside the machine tells you that the head unit is being rocked by a tiny motor. If you place the monitor system in Mono you hear the HF peak as you steer through correct azimuth and back. The centre position for record is memorised so return to centre is always possible after listening to tapes made on other equipment. I wish I had a pound for every time I was asked by one of the wonderkinder of production "what is that strange swishing sound on the speech and music".
