Below is a look inside the Nakamichi SC amplifier for those who are interested. I was just getting ready to send this out and made a pass inside for inspection before shipping. I thought you might like a peek.
5 pics. if any do not show up, simply hit your browsers refresh button.

 

Oh...Nice Brian! Stripping my amp before you send it out? Now my amp is naked! My eyes My eyes!

 

Thanx man, you are on top of it

 

onelasttry, That power output is max power, not RMS, correct? Just wondering

 

yes, max power. i just confirmed.

 

hehe, cool, never looked inside one of those.

 

this is one of the most "easy to read" amps i've been in. very well layed out and looks like it would be a great amp to work on. so i shouldnt have any problems doing anything inside them.

 

I had similarly opened up mine - from '99 GS - before happily sending it to its current home on my garage shelf. Couldn't resist seeing what the build quality was. Your amp, although a bit older, looks like it has some beefier parts, and it looks much less integrated. It's also a bit bigger, assuming your hand is about the same size as mine. Probably why I keep hearing that the older SC Nak systems sound better than the newer ones....

 

At least they're using DISCRETE components rather than fully integrated power components. Pioneer/stock GS/non nak uses integrated power components. The discrete will always win hands down in s/n, thd, etc.
