Nakamichi's 1980s BX 150 Cassette Deck Gave Ferrari Performance for Ford Capri Money

Описание: If Diana was 'the people's Princess', then the BX-150 was 'the people's Nakamichi'! Although not exactly cheap, it was affordable as high end cassette decks went in the mid 1980s – and cheap for anything bearing this legendary name.

Even in 2023, Mike and David remain big fans of Compact Cassette, and the guys are still making mixtapes for one another. Trouble is, there aren't many serious sounding, serviceable decks around anymore that don't cost the Earth – but the guys reckon this is one of them!

Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features the guys' unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.

So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing – and please leave your comments below. And don’t forget to hit the Subscribe button, this one goes up to eleven!
