I'm trying to decide which among these two amps is better. The JVC is part of the Super-A series, so I know that it's a Class-A amplifier. On the other hand, I cannot find much info regarding the Yamaha. In your opinion which is the better amp?

I’m seeking for advice on how to best improve my listening experience. I have been using a basic turntable for a long time (Yamaha TT-400) with a very much entry-level pickup from Audiotechnica. I like the turntable very much because I have a Yamaha stereo, I like the design and because the...

Hey folks! I just bought Yamaha NS-670 speakers in very good condition. Here is how they looks like (not my photo, just for understanding): Bass size is 25 cm. They sound really "neutral" and balanced. Construction is "closed box". The problem is huge lack of bass( I would like to have at...

I've been a member for a few years now. I have read and learned a lot as a result. Now I want to share one of my projects. I bought this receiver from the Bay about three months ago and last week it stopped powering on. I diagnosed this as a switch fault but I had planned on doing a recap...

Hello, I got an old Yamaha PX-3 from my Dad. It seems to work well, except that the button to switch the speed from 45 to 33 won´t work. I can see the led switching from one speed to the other, but that won´t change the actual speed. It will only turn at 45 rpm (as measured with an app), even...

Hi All, I recently bought a Yamaha B-3 power amp on a Japanese auction site and am interested in having it checked out and brought up to spec before I bring it home. I will be in Japan next week and am hoping to find a tech there to work on the machine (I go there a few times a year, so I could...

Love my old AX but the left channel sounds slightly "dull" compared to right channel. At first I thought it was just a volume difference, but it also lacks some brilliance compared to the other channel. Sitting at ideal listening position, the right channel sounds brighter and louder. I have...

I have a Yamaha RX-A1050. Probably 10 years old now. Bought it new. Love it and have had zero problems with it. Until now :-/ I was working on cabling to dress things up and when I was done, HDMI ports 1,2,6, and 7 stopped switching to the HDMI projector. I didn't think I was hard on things...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to replace my dad's old and broken home cinema amp, the Yamaha DSP A2070. I'm thinking about getting the Yamaha RX V6A, but I'm not sure if it's a good fit, especially since his speakers are the Celestion Ditton 66 Studio Monitors. Any advice on this upgrade would be...

Gone through replacing all caps along with variable resistors on this C-4. Plugged into DBT and the good news is I've got a dim glow. The bad, some smoke came up from the function board near VR123 trimmer resistor. Looks like these 2 resistors are toast (see photo). I think both R257 ( 1.2KΩ )...

Hi! I am looking to buy a sound system on a fairly small budget, which I will mainly use to stream music from Spotify (and perhaps play a CD once in a while), but I am rather clueless as to how components and setup will affect sound quality. For speakers, I was considering Elac debut 5.2...

Hi! So I'm pretty new to the analog audio community and this is kind of my first project. The Story: My dad gifted me a broken A760II. It had some shorted output transistors, which took the drivers and pre-drivers with them. After fiixing up the PSU replacing burnt resistors, some dried up...

Trying to replace a phone jack that has a cracked enclosure on my C4 preamp. I ordered a new one from mouser but not sure if it's going to work since it only has 7 pins. I'm not able to find one with 9 pins like the original. Is there a way to still use the new 7 pin version without loosing...

Hi all, I picked up a nice M65/C65 stack a month ago. The amp is being worked on, and I've been using the C65 very nicely with my M70. Much of the scratchiness in the tone knobs, input switches, and volume/loudness pot has disappeared with use. But the volume knob's noise has not disappeared...

I have been looking at Yamaha YHT-4960-EU 5.1-channel for my surround sound for my tv. From what i can see it seems to have what you need but it will set me back 876,57$. Is it worth the price and is it Any good? Thanks in advance. Some info: • 5-channel powerfull surround --- 80 W/channel (6...

I picked up a CR-1040 on FB Marketplace for $25. It’s dirty, lights aren’t working, scratchy pots but it works! I know the 1040 has some very hard to find, if not impossible to find parts. However, I think I could fall in love and make it a daily driver. My question is, should I put money into...

Hi - I have a CR-2040 and wondering what models Yamaha had that came after it, larger or better? Anyone know of a time-line or list available? I checked Yamaha's site and the CR models were not listed in their historic section.

Hi All - Just got one of my "two" CR-2040 back from a complete overall, cost $600 something, and wondering if there is a simple solution to ad a rear speaker setup? Not for everything, just my TV input. I have optical out from the TV to a small-cheap DAC that converts directly to RCA-female...

I need confirmation that my Yamaha CA-1000 pilot lamp is for sure a 12v 60ma bulb. Would any 12v bulb work? Or a 12v LED instead? Thanks in advance!!

I recently picked up a super clean CR-800 and of course all of the lamps were out. I got some LEDs on ebay and started swapping them out. When I turned the power on, the dial indicator lamp worked, but all 3 of the meter lamps did not. I can't get any power reading at the meter lamp lugs...

Hello, picked this unit up today and pulled the cover off to have a look. There are 2 square tubes protruding up from the board. One is loose and the 2nd one is not. They both seem to have corrosion around them. The loose one is circled in red in the attached picture. What is the function of...

Hello group, Does anyone of you have a service manual for the Yamaha K-560 cassette player? It is not available anywhere.... There are only two ads (paid, of course). I will be grateful, it will make my work much easier. Yours faithfully. David

Hello everyone, I've run into an issue with my Yamaha RX-V685 receiver. It's about 3 years old and has recently entered protect mode with the error "DC PRT: 255". When I turn it on, it shuts off within about 3 seconds. I'm comfortable with electronics, have a multimeter, esr tester, just have...

Has anyone here done a comparison of the Yamaha M70 to other power amps?

Hi All, I opened up this Yamaha last night that I purchased broken, it has what sound like a 60Hz hum and It looks like the culprit is this burnt section here, the only trouble is that the resistor thats burned out in my photo doesn't seem to exist on this diagram, its simply marked with an "r"...
