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

Anyway, each to his own.
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!)

Though, in reality, I'm contemplating simplicity these days..

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.
Uber expensive though.

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:

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?
