Hi All,
I’ve been rocking an Onkyo TX-SR313 (low-end from 2012) into EV FR12-2 loudspeakers for years. My girlfriend’s dad is offering his 1982 Yamaha A-760. The specs seem close enough that I don’t know if my discerning ears would hear the difference. I don’t have a lot of listening experience outside of my own rig.
Also, I don’t care about surround sound and my follow up question will be about a good DAC if the Yammie wins.
The question is, I’d be getting the Yammie for free but is it worth the shipping from IL to AZ? I know numbers specs don’t mean everything so I’m hoping for some input from the hive mind.
Onkyo:
Front L/R 65 W/Ch
Center 65 W
Surround L/R 65 W/Ch
3 ohm 160
4 ohm 125
8 ohm 85
THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise) 0.08% (20 Hz20 kHz, Half Power)
Damping Factor (1 kHz, 8 ohm) 60
CD and TAPE Play 200 mV, 47 k ohm
TAPE REC 200 mV, 470 ohm
PRE OUT 1.0 V, 470 ohm
Frequency Response 20 Hz-50 kHz
Yamaha:
Power output: 80 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz
Total harmonic distortion: 0.01%
Damping factor: 55
Input sensitivity: 0.25mV (MC), 2.5mV (MM), 150mV (line)
Signal to noise ratio: 76dB (MC), 98dB (MM), 103dB (line)
Channel separation: 70dB (MM), 70dB (MC), 70dB (line)
Output: 150mV (line)
Semiconductors: 47 x transistors, 4 x IC, 8 x FET, 54 x diodes, 3 x LED
