The low-power amplifier has lower output impedance than the bootstrap and so establishes the output voltage.

The reason is Nakamichi's STASIS amplifiers - a radically different and superior design in which two amplifiers drive the speakers : a high quality low power and a current mirror bootstrap to supply the muscle.

Music has more detail, more impact, more realism - especially played through difficult high-end speakers. This unusually exotic power supply permits each section to operate independently of the others - the major advantage of separate componentsĪudiophiles who hear the SR-3 are amazed at its effortlessly transparent sound. The tuner is even buffered from other inputs to prevent interference. Separate grounds are used for audio, tuner, display and power supply so ripple and RF noise won't enter the audio circuitry. Within the audio circuitry separate regulators are used for the phono preamp and high level stages, and the video amplifiers are regulated separate from the audio stages to prevent video noise intruding. Unlike ordinary receivers, the SR-3's transformer has separate windings, rectifiers and regulators for each major section : power amplifier, preamplifier, tuner and display. The SR-3's exceptional performance is due in part to its power supply. Like continuously variable loudness and tone controls, independent recording and input selectors, with two-way dubbing and two video inputs, a 10 preset PLL quartz-lock FM / AM tuner with manual and auto seek tuning and remote control capable And what a receiver : STASIS power amplification for uniform impedance, inherent stability and tremendous current capability, a moving coil / moving magnet phono preamp with precise equalization, an effective subsonic filter and more !

It offers the same convenience and economy, but each stage is designed like audiophile components - each individually optimized, each individually powered, each isolated for minimum interference. The Nakamichi SR-3 redefines the word receiver.
