Complete Akai Rack System - 1980 

Fantastic and true

Real buttons.. made of real metal

Very true buddy 👍

Probably made in japan that’s why it’s still works . Made in china - would be broken in 3 years

Except there is so much better if you stay away from mainstream LO FI. What about Cyrus audio, Cambridge Audio, NAD, Linn, Naim, Rotel, Yamaha. ??? All these relatively budget Hifi products beat the pants off older equipment like this rubbish in the video.

@@mikepxg6406 i agree this akai system may not be the best,but the brands you named are also not consistent,the brands that you mentioned made specific models that sounded really good(specially the older models),but all their models don't sound good eg. not all yamaha products sound good,if you open these systems(the ones that sound good-balanced,neutral,musical) you will realize there is a pattern,this pattern is the combination of passive and active components used in it,of all the hi-fidelity products that i have listened and liked these were the common brands of components used inside these: 1.elna grey colour sleeve,re series,re2 series capacitors. 2.philips mkt,panasonic polyester,ero mkt. 3.carbon film resistors philips/mullard,philips metal films,carbon films from other brands (that sound good but difficult to identify which brand-but confirmed from their appearance). 4.rubycon sky blue sleeve,yk series,ssp series capacitors. 5.alps potentiometer/volume control,sound fader ics made by philips,mitsubishi with input from rotary encoder. 6.no brass in signal path,either pure copper or copper clad steel in signal path.(speaker/amp terminals/rca/headphone jacks) 7.transistors made by matsushita,toshiba,philips,motorola. 8.class ab amp ics made by philips,sanyo,panasonic(matsushita). 9.opamps made by jrc-njm,texas instruments,stmicro. 10.modern capacitors made to sound good with metal film resistors-lelon rea series,jamicons,fujicons. 11.nippon chemicon capacitors in a few amps gave good midrange.(but made the bass unnatural.) 12.philips tda,uda series dacs,wolfson dacs,a few burr brown ones(not all burr browns sound balanced) now compare above list with the brands you mentioned and you will find that the models that used above components sounded good,while the models from same company having components other than that mentioned in above list sounded ok,or even unbalanced,ear fatiguing. sadly,manufacturers and hobbyist are not able to get stock of above components since they are not manufactured any more. so its not about the brand but about whats used inside the amplifier. take for example cyrus,rotel,naim amps,the older ones sounded musical,neutral,well balanced,newer ones don't sound as good as older ones,now open the older one,you will find components from above list inside it.

@@mikepxg6406 No.

Today the hifi is crap, and the people are zombie

Except its not HIFI definitely LO FI

@@mikepxg6406 Define Low fi

You can't afford. America's best audio try crown amps

Most 80s Japanese stuff wasn't up to much then let alone now. British HIFI is best.

@@mikepxg6406 buy American hire American

@@nicksmith978 no they are too fat and lazy

@@mikepxg6406 hahaah what

завидовали,да просто кроме Акая ничего не везли мориманы,цена качество оптимальны,а более дорогие фирмы в совок никто не вёз,ну очень редко можна было увидить действительно аппаратуру высшего класса.Акай это ширпотреб..,были правда пару моделей высшего уровня и всё.

Акаи достойная аудио техника никакой ни шерпотреб

@@vovavavan7621 У моего знакомого 78 г был АКАИ комбайн для звукозаписи, не помню марку но классно записи делали. Купил тогда этот фанат за 10 000 рублей. 👈👍👍👍👍

Both at the same time. It is kind of an all round entertainment system. 🤪
