I just wish i had had a chance to hear the IRSV. By all accounts it was life changing !!
You still can, PS Audio has one and they always say if you are in the area you can come and listen.

Willy Hermann can expertly service the 1000ZXL, and also does mods to swap out the stock transport with either a ZX-9 or Dragon transport, thereby improving both the sound and serviceability of the deck. But the CR-7 is a great deck & in the top four Nakamichi decks ever made.A friend of mine has the standard 1000ZXL it’s a lovely machine and sounds amazing but I would not want one, you can’t get parts which means you may have a nice door stop on your hands. I have a CR-7, for me it’s the best Nakamichi to have.
The mini cassette revival is good but I have not bought a pre-recorded cassette in years, I make my own recordings from LP's and I have a stockpile of new TDK MA-XG’s to use.
Yeah they are awesome speakers for sure. I'm glad I got to tick that off my bucket list! Going back to an old thread, here is how I described their sound...I just wish i had had a chance to hear the IRSV. By all accounts it was life changing !!
I love those light-bulb moments which can change your life. Part of the joy of our hobby is sharing it with others .A Friends of mine had a Philips Laboratories Tuner 673 in the early 80s, some Grundig Monolit Loudspeaker, the First Philips CD 100. i forgot about the Preamp, maybe a Yamaha...! And after this evening my whole life changed and the hobby starts....
Hearing music with good sound is quality in living.
Sorry for my bad english by the way.
Paul's pair have been extensively restored and upgraded, incl: hand-built replacement Emim's, Emits restored by Cory Johnson, new wiring & custom outboard x-overs designed by their Chief Engineer, Bob Stadtherr. They must be one of the best, if not the best sounding pair in the world.You still can, PS Audio has one and they always say if you are in the area you can come and listen.
Absolutely! For me it‘s the best to make a session with friends to hear some good music, drink coffee and eat something. We talk about music, amps,…far away from the things, we have to do everyday.I love those light-bulb moments which can change your life. Part of the joy of our hobby is sharing it with others .

My brother pretty much used his Yammy KX-1200U to record new vinyl albums also, then he just listened to tapes. He had some Dolby DBX recordings on Thats MR-X Pro tapes which sounded bloody good.
Shortly followed by my 1st ever album purchase, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Are You Experienced".
