	I am interested in buying a Nakamichi BX-2. Judging from recent
news I doubt that I will be discouraged from this choice. However, being
a college student, I am on a rather limited budget. Does anybody out
there know any good and relatively inexpensive mail order places that
carry it? I am hoping to get it for about $300, or less if possible.

The Source (1-800-443-HIFI) has the following in their price list:

	BX-1	$255.00
	BX-2	$338.00
	BX-100	$294.00
	BX-150	$419.00

They advertise in the big three (SR,HIFI,Audio)

$300.00? No way, Jose... The lowest I have ever seen a BX-2 is $379 through
audio unlimited in San Jose, CA (408-279-0122) a while back.  Nakamichis are
rather carefully controlled by Mama Nak and it's hard to find a bargain better
than 15-20% off list.  However, you may be able to get a reasonable deal
RIGHT NOW in the stores since the BX-1 and -2 have been replaced by the
BX-100 and BX-150 (the same innards, but adding an automatic master fader
control{nice feature, but not totally necessary} and new {cleaner} cosmetics)
and I'm sure some dealers would like to clean out their old stock.
But $300? At a minimum, $50 more.
