Nakamichi CD700

Upgrading my head unit from Nakamichi CD400 to it's bigger brother Nakamichi CD700. The difference between the two is amazing, so is the price difference by four folds. So I was lucky to source one second hand from Alex Minassian in Brisbane. The rest of the system stays the same; Audison SRX4 amp, Rodek with custom 2nd order passive, and Hart 10' in custom passive radiator box.

CD400 is an awesome head unit, but once the CD700 starts to play it's no contest. If analogue sound is your thing then this head unit could be the thing for you. Although it sounded much much better, now my Rodek needs to go as its just not on par with the CD700.

And the new speaker is AVI Direct LX which currently is in Indonesia with my family waiting for me to collect. The AVI will get custom passive too, together with ribbon tweeter to go in tandem with the AVI tweeter. Passive is to be 6th Order, but if its too big to carry then I have to settle with 4th orders. A mono amp will be sourced to drive the sub-woofer as the Audison will be bridged to drive the AVI (at least temporarily until I get a better amp).

But for now, the Rodek can serve its final duty before its called for retirement. And what better way to do the final duty than working together with CD700. Go Nak!
