Akai UC-U2 System update

I found the matching Akai SW-N2 speakers that go with this Akai compact system.

Currently have it running in the kitchen listening through the iPod, great little bedroom/kitchen/den near field set up.

Akai UC-U2 Amplifier

This nice little Akai unit showed up this week, the UC-U2 amplifier, this 23WPC unit is from the early 80's and would have come as part of the micro systems that where popular during that time.

The build quality is pretty good on the inside with a large toriodal transformer and pretty impressive 6800uf filter caps. For 23WPC this means it will be pretty stable under 4 ohm loads.

There is two tape monitor loops and a decent phono stage.

It is a pretty nice sounding unit for 23WPC with plenty of punch.

Compared to the earlier Akai AM-2450 it is not as nice sonically or visually, still it is a super cool little unit.
