Nakamichi’s 620 Power Amplifier<br />
By Jerold O‘Brien<br />
Ah, memories. Back in<br />
<strong>the</strong> early ’80s when our publisher and I were<br />
building up our systems, he used to buy his<br />
OLD SCHOOL<br />
neighbor’s hand-me-downs, and when he was<br />
ready to move on, I bought <strong>the</strong>m. Which is why<br />
I always had a cooler car, but that’s ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
story for ano<strong>the</strong>r day. When neighbor (and<br />
occasional TONE contributor) Todd got a full<br />
complement of Nakamichi 600 components, I<br />
knew it was only a matter of time before <strong>the</strong><br />
ADD twins got tired of <strong>the</strong>m and <strong>the</strong>y<br />
would make <strong>the</strong>ir way to my house.<br />
These wedge-shaped<br />
beauties had <strong>the</strong>ir moment<br />
of fame in <strong>the</strong> cult classic,<br />
Diva, in <strong>the</strong> main character’s sparse yet cool<br />
Paris apartment. So what better place to start<br />
this reunion and my upcoming review of <strong>the</strong><br />
Graham Audio LS5/9 speakers than with this<br />
obscure soundtrack?<br />
