Sharp made it for Sharp. It was their attempt at a 'high end' line. It was/is good stuff generally, high quality and well made but as I recall did not make much of an impact sales-wise in the audio world and is fairly rare today. In fact, I haven't seen many pieces even when it was new. As far as I know, the only Optonica component that has a following these days has been that funky computer controlled cassette deck. There was a Sharp version as well. My feeling is that Optonica stuff are 'sleepers' with a small following. I could be wrong...
