Damn:sigh:; A little extra info never hurt anyone.......... especially from a guy who's probably forgot more info about Yamaha gear than most of us will ever hope to know.

Looking to get one of these! What are the differences and which one would you choose and why?
motorstereo there is a nice thread about Yamaha pre's here, some how it seems to have slipped past the transfer of Yamaha stuff from the vintage thread when the Yamaha forum was created - but here it is:

The Yamaha C-2 is the best preamp you can buy for less than $500. Regarding the B-6, its a PT Barnum. Design gimmick, sub par performance. The B-2 is magnificent, and not too scary to own anymore as the v-fets are available again.

Some very serious Yamaha fans love the B-6. An acquaintance who has an MX-10000 and a 101M rates the B-6 very highly. B-6's regularly sell for over $1,500 in Japan.I do not agree at all. The B-6, when paired with 8 Ohms speakers sounds very good. Super fast and dry bass and extraordinary wide soundstage. Muscles and no fat. In the German magazine "Stereoplay" the B-6 was rated better than an Accuphase P-400 and others.
Wait, what was that about v-fets being available? More info please!:yes:
AFAIK they are not available. This article might have caused some confusion:

First, i was surprise by the quality of the sound with the exception that i
ear some little hash sound in the mid? But i remember the guy told me he has
changed some cap in the power amp for new one. So i start to play the power amp
every day to burn in the new cap. And WOW after at least 300 hours
i ear a sound that i never experimented before in my system.
My pream is a Meridian processor who is amazing. This is my only Yamaha
power amp experience but a very good one...:yes:
Sounds like Ferris Buehler is off again.....
M-50, M50,....

What can I say about and M-50.:scratch2: I'ts made by Yamaha and sounds good. Will only run one set of speakers at a time . Either SPKR A or SPKR B. Just like the M-70. The 220vac european models have a Yamaha recall/warning concerning Rifa "across the line" caps in the X-power supply models that tend to pose a fire hazard.
I have see these caps burn in the 120 vac models as well. Easy fix with new panasonic X rated caps.
