Matthew Martinez What makes Nakamichi TA-2 high definition tuner amplifier so good?
In the power section, the extraordinary STASIS circuit topology combined with high current capability results in ample output power and excellent speaker drive characteristics. The pre-amplifier features Nakamichi’s innovative isolated ground principle for complete freedom from interference between various circuit stages.
How big is the Nakamichi PA5 stasis stereo amplifier?
Our copy of the Nakamichi PA5 Stasis amp is in rather good condition for its age. With a few cosmetic blemishes here and there. The PA5 is a 100 watt per channel stereo amplifier. Also available was the PA7 with 200 watts per channel.
What should I look for in a Nakamichi receiver?
The Nakamichi receivers to look for are the ones that will have “STASIS” written on the front panel. These are the Nelson Pass designs. They should be the SR-2A, SR-3A, SR-4A, TA-2A, TA-3A, and TA-4A. The SR-1A and TA-1A were not STASIS models to my recollection. The SA versions were made in Japan (more desireable).
Who are the owners of Nakamichi power amplifiers?
Nakamichi Sold in the 90’s to Hong Based company Grande Holdings, owners of Sansui and Akai. While in their prime Nakamichi made some very nice power amplifiers such as the PA5, although it should be noted that it is a Nelson Pass design, it is constructed as a Nakamichi amp.

Where did the Nakamichi stasis amps come from?
As I understand it, Nakamichi bought the licensing rights to the Stasis technology from Threshold, Nakimichi presented their version of Stasis amps to Nelson Pass, who briefly tweaked it, and then Nakamichi went on to manufacture it with Japanese parts and construction.
How much harmonic distortion does Nakamichi TA-1 have?
