Kyocera also had an entire line of audio components; receivers, amplifiers,
cassette decks, CD players. They always tried to find a way to work ceramics
into the design if at all possible: Their CD players moved the laser pick-up
assembly along ceramic rails rather than steel ones, for example. Their
cassette tape transports were excellent and were used on an OEM basis by
many other stereo equipment manufacturers. Nakamichi used Kyocera tape transports
in a lot of their tape decks. I believe they still OEM for stereo manufacturers
but don't sell under their own name any more.
