The Nak looked like it belonged in a rack, and the Yammie looked like a telephone/answering machine. Not fond of either honestly.

The Nak system i recall was all a bit like this Nak 600, slope fronted, with Pre/Amp/Sliders(?) all in a line - can't find a pic afer brief search.
Maybe Mr Beobloke will recall?

The vertical rack arrangement IMO looks hideous. A horizontal arrangement with sloping fascias would look far better.
That's them! I could use the lot as i use a big slab of wood to hold my system, rather than a rack! (You're right about the rack!)Quote:

I think the rack looks super-cool.
Me too, Line-Magnetic do a similar looking stack of amplification and it's nothing short of bond villain volcano-opening-rocket-control room levels.Quote:

If these are typical of the units used in the stack, then it would look like some of the equipment we had in the electronics research laboratory where I worked:Quote:

I've seen that before. Is it the driver electronics for a radio transmitter - made by either Western Electric or Siemens? Or maybe an amplifier for a 1930's cinema sound system?Quote:
