Calling All Yamahas. Time to Post Your Pics

[Vint Age]

I'm struggling for months with the LED's in my B-2. I used all kinds of types, experimented with all kinds of light filters, but I can't get the color right.

Same here until I found the yellow 360° diffused from Superbrightled. Last time I check though they didn't seem to be selling them anymore ...

that is because you bought the whole stock, LOL

Edit:
I found your post from 2014...that explains it..Bummer

I need a similar solution, especially for the C-1. Once you'll touch the top of that meter bracket after a few mins of duty, you will too

"rotated back in for the cooler months" LOL.

When I replaced my old Pioneer plasma TV a couple years ago I didn't realize what a space heater that thing was. All of a sudden with the new LED TV the living room was really cold all the time.

Yamaha CR-420 i got for free from a little old lady, has left channel distortion pretty bad though :/

One of my first vintage pieces was a CR-420, it was my gateway drug into the CR/CA series. I just love them.

Here comes my first Yamaha piece, an AX-592 I got used for 60€ a few months back in a near pristine state.



It works well with Focals 726v floorstanders and a breeze audio DAC as source.
Much better with this speakers than what I had before plenty power and yet a very easy listening.

The cool part is it has 2 switched AC outlets on the back so the dac powers with the amp, all with the remote

Thanks very much, it is a real pleasure to listen to these fine vintage items. The Master Pre Amps are the C2X and C2A. As you notice I have a thing for Pre Amps. The others are just Slaves.

 

[Mr. Yamaha]

Nice collection!

 

[braincramp]

Ok, I'll play. My CR-1020

 

[KrautNotRice]

Wow BBS428, amazing!
I also just love the slim line preamps. I was fortunate enough to find a very clean C-2 and just had avionic recap it.
Thanks to avionic it now sounds as good as it looks and I'm a super happy camper.
