The x2 EQ30m is by far the rarest in your collection and one I never owned.
Nice!
Nice!
I started a year ago with one heck of a deal on my local classified for Alpha 450, Beta 30 and x2 EQ30m.
I kinda fallen in love with Nikko gear. Since them I've been looking around for more
I came across one guy that was selling one Alpha 230 (Red series) who knew how much they worth and told me more about the story of the brand.
In january, as I was browsing my classified website and found the holy grail! The guy had the rare BTL-1 and the ATD-1 processor for sale! I stepped on it, it took me 5 hour in a blizzard snow storm to go get it which would of taken 2 hour on a normal drive, since the guy wanted it gone asap and would of sell all of it the next day.
There is my current setup.
From top-left (Amp Rack):
Alpha 230 (red series) - Center Speaker (Unbridged)
Alpha 230 x2 - Only one is used for the surround speakers
Alpha 450 - Front speakers
From top-Right (Processing Rack)
Gamma 40
EQ30m x2
Beta 30
ATD-1
B&K Reference 50
"Stupid" Monster PRO2500 that is supposed to suppress noise...
I use this system either for listening music or watching movies
I have lot more pictures on my flickr account! I removed the top cover on some of the gear in order to show and clean contacts where it was required. Still today I have a hard time cleaning them, I don't want the lettering to fade or get damaged.
I wish Nikko was still alive and made A\V Processor with today standards
