    newbie interested in Yamaha CR receivers - where to start? what to be wary of?

    Hi folks I'm new to vintage Yamaha equipment, other than my recapped NS-670 speakers, which I like very much. I'm currently driving them with Sansui AU-4900 and AU-555A amps, listening to a lot of 1950s-60s jazz, some 60s-80s rock and some classical orchestral, from vinyl and CD sources. I...

    Do the Yamaha CR-1020 and 2020 have the same output amps?

    Hi all, I feel kind of silly asking this but where comparing pictures the amp output assemblies and parts look identical. I have not been able to compare parts lists for these two and thought I would ask since a lot of parts are interchangeable on these.

    Can the CR-1020/2020 Dolby FM Adaptor switch be used for EQs, etc?

    I'm a big fan of my current CR-800, but I'm looking to upgrade. I'm looking at the CR-1020, since I know the 2020 is out of my price range right now. It has just about everything I want, but I have one question: can the Dolby FM adaptor switch be used like the regular adaptor switches found on...

    Gear Pairing

    Hello AK, once again I emerge from my lurking to ask some advice on my next audio purchase. As some of you may remember, I purchased a pair of JBL 4410's in June of last year. I have been powering them with an interim Pioneer SA-1060 I had laying around from an old system I built in high...

    CR 2020 Pre-amp to Power amp connection

    I want to know if I fabricate a jumper to connect the pre-amp to the power amp on the back of a CR2020 does it need to be shielded? I know I can use the switch, if I service it, as it is not dependable at the moment, I really just want to know about fabricating a jumper.

    CR-1020: After recap stuck in protection SOLVED

    Edit: Solved, see post #82. If your CR-1020 is stuck in protection, and the FM tuner dial is stuck to the left of center, check TR712 and TR715 on your Power Supply board! I just recapped my CR-1020 (electrolytic board, power supply / protection board, main amp boards) and now my DBT burns...

    Am I going to blow up my cr-1020?!?

    I recently aquired a CR-1020. There is a sticker on the back that says if you are running both pairs of speakers, at the same time, none should be under 8ohm. I have a pair 8ohm 16ohm speakers that I would like to run at the same time (45 and 30 watt rated respectively). Is this going to...
