Nakamichi SR-4A
Little is documented about the Nakamichi SR-4A. It was a stereo receiver, listed at $659 in mid-1987. That made it the step-up model in Nakamichi's receiver line above the SR-2A ($359). HiFi-Stereo (May 1987, p.130) grouped it with Nakamichi's cassette decks and CD players in a price list that year, which confirms where it sat in the brand's late-1980s audio lineup.
The SR-4A shows up in period receiver roundups alongside models from Yamaha, Nikko, and Revox. No detailed review has surfaced in the available period press, so there are no measurements of power output or distortion, and no feature list. Given Nakamichi's engineering reputation, it likely shared the clean, restrained look of its siblings. It probably included a phono stage, since the related SR-3A was noted for a switchable MM/MC preamp. These are reasonable guesses, not confirmed facts.
Beyond its price and its place as a mid-tier receiver in Nakamichi's 1987 catalog, almost nothing else is recorded. If you own one or have a manual, the archive would welcome documentation.
