Offered is „670ZX“ by Nakamichi as second-hand device from the category „Cassette Recorder“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3285710979 ends on 15.10.2026 at 20:45 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for a 670ZX at the moment: €1,500 sits above the €1,254 median but well below the €2,202 upper quartile, so it reads as fair-to-strong rather than stretched. It is not a bargain-bin price, but for a clean example it lands in sensible territory for a sought-after Nakamichi.
The appeal here is the deck’s reputation: the 670ZX is one of the classic three-head Nakamichis, valued for serious tape performance, auto record calibration, and the kind of musical, precise playback that keeps collectors interested. At €1,500, a good-condition unit is worth considering if it’s been properly serviced, with belts, idlers, transport, and calibration confirmed; on these decks, service history matters more than cosmetics.

Nakamichi was founded in 1948 by Etsuro Nakamichi as a research institute in Tokyo, Japan, initially providing R&D services for major corporations and government entities before transitioning to consumer audio manufacturing under its own name beginning in 1972. The brand emerged from deep technical expertise in electromagnetism, magnetic recording, and acoustics, establishing itself as a pioneering force in Japanese audio engineering. Today, Nakamichi operates as a subsidiary of Chinese holding company Nimble Holdings, maintaining its heritage while expanding into contemporary audio categories.
The brand built its legendary reputation on cassette deck innovation, introducing the world's first three-head recording deck and the iconic Dragon series (1982), which featured bi-directional replay and automatic azimuth correction—innovations that remain highly sought after by collectors, with pristine examples commanding thousands of dollars on the secondary market. Beyond vintage cassette decks, Nakamichi's modern product portfolio encompasses home cinema audio systems, sound bars, speakers, headphones, mini hi-fi systems, automotive stereo products, and automotive lighting solutions, reflecting a diversification strategy that extends its audio expertise across multiple consumer segments.
Nakamichi occupies a distinctive position bridging vintage collectibility and contemporary consumer audio. The brand commands respect among audiophiles and hi-fi enthusiasts for its uncompromising engineering standards and Japanese precision, while simultaneously serving the automotive and mainstream home audio markets. Its legacy as an innovator in analog audio technology, combined with its evolution into modern product categories, positions Nakamichi as a heritage brand with credibility across both specialist and general consumer segments.
