    It's got RCA hasn't it the streamer you can plug it into any input except phono or maybe disc sometimes they might write it as disk on the amplifier. You can use the auxiliary or tape input just select the Selector and you shouldn't have a problem

    Not only are many vintage pieces of equipment very capable performers, they are also beautifully built, and many truly are works of art. Just the art puts these things in a place where very few (for there are some) modern devices can share.

      That is simply not true my friend. Akai is a sleeper. It is under the radar simply because most are focused on just Marantz/Sansui/Pioneer and to some extent Kenwood. Look at reviews of Akai AA1050, 1150, 1175 and of course AA1200. Everyone are describing it as same league as the others and even BETTER! AA1200 rated 120W but measured 170W!

But the Technology of the newer(built after 1990) devices are hard to repair by a local. Shipping a device to Japan dir reparatiom is very expensive. Thats why my repair guy advice the accuphase E-202. I heard some horror stories of guus who wanted to have their broken devices repaired and the very high repair costs.
