I'm 59 and sometimes I feel like crying when I think about how beautiful and interesting hifi used to be I haven't had a turntable for 30+ years and I will be getting a good one when I get a flat
Был когда-то и я владельцем этого счастья, привёз из Австрии в 1980 году. Служил верой и правдой более 30 лет. Спасибо за ностальгические воспоминания! P.S. Только вертушка в комплекте была другая и стойка не деревянная, а с какими-то дерматиновыми боковинами.
This is very cool - had the same AKAI system since the early 80s' minus the equalizer and with different speakers. Still using the amp and tuner in my workshop area. My tape player stopped working several years ago and gave away my turntable about 8-10 years ago to a co-worker. I remember it was offered in either a Black or Silver finish - I went with Silver finish and so many fond-memories - capturing the 80's Billboard year-end top 100 songs with its tuner and tape player. Today, I own primarily Denon and Polk hardware.
Beautiful system! Akai never got the respect it deserved. Fools always assumed that anything put out by Pioneer and Kenwood was automatically the best.
small midi Akai is equal to small Mitsubishi midi gear and was not made in Japan but in Taiwan....let's say that your Akai gear and top of the line Akai hifi from the 80ies and beginning of 90ies was great. I must admit that my midi Akai and Mitsubishi are crap, costed 700 USD in 1988 but sound too bright, quite dynamic, but nothing compared to a Kenwood A-83. sad but true.
I'm sure if the manufacturers of these sets could re-engage the production of Mini-Disk, DCC, Cd-Recorders, Equalizers and even tape decks, little by little the manufacturers would sell again. There are a lot of people worldwide that missing these audio hi-fi sets and would buy them again. Why? Because just look at this astonishing AKAI modular sound system. It's much better than any smartphone connected to a bluetooth box. And could be even better, just add to all this and do a built-in connection to bluetooth, wi-fi and so on. This will allow any smartphone be connected to modular set. We don't need to drop out the nowadays technologies (of course not!), but there's nothing as listen to the music on a modular set like this one. Please manufactures, action now! I pray everyday for this day!
Emerson Schmidt - Flight Deck Builder There ARE a lot of up to date analogue components! Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo, NAD for example in the affordable price range. And a lot of others above.
i agree my sound system is still firmly based on my arcam receiver it can connect almost anything and its output sound is astonishing with my rogers speakers i spent a lot of time research and hard work to afford these things and they have never let me down a tiny box and some plastic speakers or sound bar cant compete with real HIFI
I LOVE these old hi-fi stack systems. Never had Akai, but my first amp/receiver was a JVC RX-3, with a bunch of other mismatched components; currently I'm trying to build another, but with all JVC components using CompuLink synchro. One remote for the whole stack!
had the same components except for the equalizer and those monster speakers. Was a bullet proof stereo and considered hi fi for it's time in the early eighties. Wish I still had this system...
and still is,(considered high- fidelity) no new components have the quality in high-fidelity that akai had in the early 80´s and for the price today you can buy a very cheap system with almost flat sound ,at the time a system like this could cost around 1000 dollars ,today with this quality you have to spend around 4000 or more dollars,try to buy the same components from other brand ,and you´ll see, i personally have an hi-fi system from pioneer bought in 74 ,today what i have would cost around a 1.000 dollars and that´s high-fidelity ,i bought in the mid 80´s a akai deck just because i was amazed by it´s quality
Love these systems...they sounded near perfect with any given track..and do miss those styled 3 Way speaker system with duct, wish such similar systems with newer connectivity options comes again in the market place.
Great set! Nice to see my first turntable. Broken down now after 35 years of hard labour. Never replaced the belt, kept working fine. At the moment I'm using a Akai AA 1020, over 40 yrars olf and still going steady. Paid €10 for it and €6 for new lights. Great stuff!!
The tweeters look exactly like the Realistic "Supertweeters" from Radio Shack years ago. Used them on a few different custom builds. One set had 2 x 12" poly woofers, 2 x 4" mids & the supertweeter in each box. Had to use heavy bracing to hold them together, individual enclosures for the mids (inside of the baffle boards) to keep the woofers from blowing them out. Crossovers obviously & level controls on the mids & tweets. Powered by a Kenwood 125wpc power amp. They hit hard! Redoing a Kenwood Spectrum 88 rack system right now. The KM-208 power amp is merciless on speakers. 155wpc. Ouch! Thanks for letting me ramble.✌
One of the best music system I had about 25 years back during cassette days and it was dream and status to have this complete tower when these were imported in India . Still using its equalizer to enhance the music of my CDs .as per taste .... Really those were the golden days of the music and our generation ......
AKAI hermoso,que tiempos jugábamos con el sonido, tenía su escualizador gráfico, grabamos unos cassettes última generación, quitándole brilló dándole más bajo,cuadramos el volumen de sonido a un solo nivel.hoy las memorias USB con muchas más canciones pero sonido disparejo que hay que correr cuando se sube el sonido. esos sí eran mountruos de la tecnología análoga. yo tube los equipos y grabadoras a mi antojo, la mejor que tuve fue una pioner doblé cassette ya con lector de cds, reloj con encendido y apagado automático. aún la tengo de recuerdo aún que no funcione.att Guillermo Sánchez Gómez desde Cali Colombia Suramérica
Believe it or not, I have a pair of those SW-187 speakers in my living room right now. I have them on a vintage Sherwood tube amp, and they're quite good. The build quality of those speakers is insane, it's super high-grade plywood, internally braced, they even used the cutout from the woofer hole to stiffen the back panel. The drivers have nice aluminum baskets, the super-tweeter is a tad dated. The crossovers have very high quality components, nice big coils, quality pad pots, and what appear to be polypropylene caps. No electrolytics if I remember correctly. Nice tight bass, can be squaky in the mids, but if you carefully tweak the pads to your room they're awesome. Anyway, thanks for uploading this video it's really cool to see what the rest of the system looked like.
Speaking from experience - Akai's vintage units from this era are an absolute *PAIN* to work on (I'm struggling replacing the belts on my cassette deck just because it's impossible to replace them all without physically moving the power supply!), but I'll admit - their design aesthetic knocks it out of the park, time and time again. Just some beautiful components in that system.
If I could have one of this hifi system...I would have new lease of life. My dream come through.80's and 90's we not going to come again...the best years of my especially 90's!
I remember back then in the 1980s that that kind of stereo system was prohibitively expensive for most of us here in the Philippines and was considered a status symbol.
Nothing but the best sound came from these units, and i recon they still sound better then the crap they sell today.....wish i still had mine dammmmmmmmmmmmmmm !
Had this system with analog tuner. Used it for a decade+ in the 80s and later sold it in good working condition. Very Good System ! Did not have the equaliser.
Hola amigo. Es una verdadera joya de audio análogo, gózalo y disfrútalo porque ya no hay y cuídalo porque ya no hay más. Ahora necesitamos convertidores para poder escuchar él sonido más realista. Saludos gracias por compartir
Nossa! que conjunto mais lindo e conservadíssimo! meu sonho é ter um conjunto exatamente assim! sou a moda antiga! apaixonado por conjuntos assim! minha nota pra essa aparelho é 1000!
Thats a decent middle class rack system of the early eighties from Akai (Pro504),combined with the basic belt driven turntable AP-B20 and the top of the line speakers SW-187. All in exellent condition it seems.
У меня такие же AKAI колонки! Солидная электронная музыка! Я обычно тестирую жанром SYNTH POP, типа: ТЕХНОЛОГИЯ; DEPECHE MODE; A-HA; CAMOUFLAGE; AND ONE; HARALD BOSH
just seems that with hole system with speekers would go for so much more' It's a beautiful piece in beautiful shape' thank you for the reply I love your channel.
Man adjust that EQ. It's flat and doing nothing. Very nice system !! I once owned an Akai reel to reel that was awesome. I could put on a reel in the morning and it would play hours of tunes. I miss those days !!
Akai used to make some quite decent kit back in the day. But they started to go downhill from the early 90's on, producing generic plastic box midi systems, not many of which survive today. But from the late 70's to the second half of the 80's, they brought out some really decent separates, such as what we see here.
Mini hifi system has completely disappeared from the market. Don't know when or why this happened. Mp3 players and smartphone are ok. But nothing can compare to hifi systems.
Wish it will comeback, in the early year 2000 here in Dubai UAE, Marantz, denon, onkyo and pioneer competing on auido and home theater system on the retail outlet,💪 but now 2019 I only saw sound bars with subwoofer and Bluetooth speakers😔
Companies like marantz do make for the mass market, but the quality is very bad nowdays for hifi products. Audio equipment from the 70-80's are much better quality than most modern systems, unless you're willing to pay in the 10k-100k range for your equipment
@@priyankarphysio times Has changed. HiFi isn't number one hobby anymore. Iphones, ipads, computers are now hip. Last time i saw audio related commercial on tv was in 1998 or 1999 IT was Philips boombox ad. Few years later internet bloomed and times changed. Now HiFi audio is niche
I sold my similar system last year. It was called the Pro504. I bought it new in 1982 from Grace Brothers in Parramatta. The system was still in mint condition and everything worked.
La verdad si, ya q esos equipos eran de clase social alta, yo sólo los podía ver en la revista selecciones read digest asta apenas q compre un minicomponente sony genezy, pero me gustan esos equipos marca Sony, Panasonic, Fisher
+ Владимир соколов Ага Особенно можно рассказать тинейджерам заодно насколько бесполезны были эти далеко не дешевые игрушки я имею ввиду дорогущие кассетные магнитофоны с функциями записи, шумоподавителями, индикторами, регулировками уровней записи Арузами-Пузами переключениями режимов с ферума на хром и пр, и про компакт кассеты которые официально в Советском союзе и России никто не писал а писать на них самому чего-то полный бред! небыло качественных исходников, а писать с винила это извращение винил надо так слушать это и есть настоящий HI-FI! но я сомневаюсь что например в году 93-ем можно было купить винил например Лизы Мялик не в Москве, (господи наверное только я один помню кто это такая) а вот кассеты в ларьках с говенным качеством записи продавались как пирожки, как говорится ежики плакали но жрали кактус, а некторые не плакали просто жрали.
Herlich der warme Klang der Schallplatte, ich finde ja auch immer wir Normalen sollten uns Vintage Anlagen kaufen , die heute bezahlbar sind und uns auch in die High End Ebene heben , diese Geräte haben noch Charakter und sehen optisch sehr schön aus , besonders schön wenn man dann noch Zeiger Instrumente eingebaut hat
Vintage es Vintage, ya esa calidad no se volverá a ver, lo de hoy en día no concuerda con la belleza de estos equipos. A parte de calidad en sonido, también la estética de los mismos, gracias por compartir.
Other places I don't know, but in my country AKAI seems like a pioneer box speaker with a narrow and tall front view (rectangle) and the length of the back is almost the same as the height of the speaker box and inside the box on the screen so that it creates a good bass effect even though the speaker wofer is only about 5 inches specially made with large wattage and is ideal for small spaces, even though in the open the bass effect still sounds clear. AKAI type I have forgotten because it was about 30-40 years ago
very nice I have a Marantz cd 67se with a Marantz pm7200 linked through a Technics Graphic SH-GE70 paired with Paradigm speakers mini monitors MK 1. the system is over 20 yrs old and still sounds great. x Dad still has his old Sony amp with the wood surround linked to a old school Pioneer cd player and Thornes Turn table through old school Celestion speakers, both systems sound great. They should still make this stuff, it sounds soooo good. My dads system is 35 yrs plus, I have a Luxman L-1 amp as a bk up that sounds really warm and rich only 35 wpc but like NAD proper real 35 wpc. xxxx
Beautiful. I have a similar system, a preamp PR-A04 and PA-W04 amp, tuner, cassette deck. I would stack them up against any other system for sound quality. The only amp better is the Akai AM-U06. Has the same pulsed power supply, a PS which is cleaner than all the huge transformers that other amps use, and is encased in an EMF cage.
I'm 59 and sometimes I feel like crying when I think about how beautiful and interesting hifi used to be I haven't had a turntable for 30+ years and I will be getting a good one when I get a flat

Жаль, что мне не по карману испытать такое изящество. По-доброму завидую!
Old school music sounded great on these. In Africa, only a few from the elite community owned these. Some of us stuck to our dads gramaphone!
Thank you for your interest
30 years old
still working is amazing

Very nice system. I am currently putting an akai system together. Thank you
確か今は亡きアカイ電気。一時期はダイヤトーンと組んでА＆Ｄとしてミニコンポ等を出していた時期もあった。単品コンポは通常、良いとこどりができるため違うメーカーのものと混ぜ合わせて組み、理想の音を追求していくのが普通だと思うのだが、アカイ一色で揃えるなんてこの動画の方は、相当なアカイ電気好きでいらっしゃるようだ。余談だが私ならカセットデッキのみアカイにするかもしれない。
Awwww.... Would so love to have one of these. Good ol' days.... Sigh.
Thats a decent middle class rack system of the early eighties from Akai (Pro504),combined with the basic belt driven turntable AP-B20 and

Other places I don't know, but in my country AKAI seems like a pioneer box speaker with a narrow and tall front view (rectangle) and the length of the back is almost the same as the height of the speaker box and inside the box on the screen so that it creates a good bass effect even though the speaker wofer is only about 5 inches specially made with large wattage and is ideal for small spaces, even though in the open the bass effect still sounds clear. AKAI type I have forgotten because it was about 30-40 years ago
Ya no hay de esos? los recuerdo en los 80's, esos si que tenían un buen sonido, nada que ver con los de hoy
Beautiful system my favorite
OLD is the gold, awesome
very nice system Hi-fi..and very nice cat.....
Old is gold
very nice I have a Marantz cd 67se with a Marantz pm7200 linked through a Technics Graphic SH-GE70 paired with Paradigm speakers mini monitors MK 1. the system is over 20 yrs old and still sounds great. x Dad still has his old Sony amp with the wood surround linked to a old school Pioneer cd player and Thornes Turn table through old school Celestion speakers, both systems sound great. They should still make this stuff, it sounds soooo good. My dads system is 35 yrs plus, I have a Luxman L-1 amp as a bk up that sounds really warm and rich only 35 wpc but like NAD proper real 35 wpc. xxxx
And of course the vinyl sounds the best. 👍. Beautiful system.
AMAZING Premium HQ SOUND
Gorgeous analog machine.
I am from INDIA, I have the same cassette deck, amplifier, and tuner in good condition, I love akai.
Мечта молодости, супер агрегат !!!
На нём можно было слушать супер музыку.
Beautiful. I have a similar system, a preamp PR-A04 and PA-W04 amp, tuner, cassette deck. I would stack them up against any other system for sound quality. The only amp better is the Akai AM-U06. Has the same pulsed power supply, a PS which is cleaner than all the huge transformers that other amps use, and is encased in an EMF cage.
Isso que é som anos 80 e 90 rock and roll
