Nakamichi 1000II

3 Head Cassette System

1000II Tri Tracer

Universally acclaimed as the very finest cassette deck, the Nakamichi 1000 has retained its position of leadership through a series of careful refinements.

The machine that changed the course of cassette deck history continues to set the example for the rest, because research at Nakamichi never stops with the introduction of a product. Even though nobody has managed to better the original Nakamichi 1000, it would be a lie to say that the 1000 is the same today as it was then. To stay several years ahead of the others, the Nakamichi 1000 has been undergoing a constant process of evolution. The latest series of refinements have resulted in the Nakamichi 1000II, a cassette deck that restates the state of the art.
