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 />
