    Bose 301s Replaced with Polk ES20 - Thoughts and Input on Change?

    After years of using Bose 301s with a Yamaha CR-2040 (use it for Music and and Movies). What I noticed - The Bose's filled the rooms completely with sound, but while watching films I had a hard time understanding words, but when putting on high quality headphones I could hear everything in...

    CR-2040 Phono Selector Switch?

    Just got my 2040 delivered to my door today. And I'm going over it very carefully. The faceplate needed a bit of cleaning along with a few pots. And the case may need a little attention from a furniture pen. But, overall I'm actually pretty impressed. It's actually in much nicer shape than I was...

    Yamaha 2040 AM Antenna

    Hello. If you've read my intro, then you already know that I've got a Yamaha CR-2040 coming to me sometime this week. As far as I know, it may just need a little TLC to address some cosmetic issues, but everything should be in decent working order. The only thing that caught my eye from the...

    Yamaha CR-2040 Clean Up

    Just got a Yamaha CR-2040 from a friends 2nd cousins estate (thought it was a CR-3020 until just a bit ago). Hooked up a pair of speakers and a turntable, and plugged it in. I gotta say this receiver sounds great! Even with a pair RS Optimus Mini AV speakers and an old Stanton 500 Mk II...

    CR-2040 : recap experiences ?

    I am tempted to recap at least the phono stage of CR2040 - there seem to be lot of caps in the signal path. When I recapped my KEF Cantata speakers, all caps were off by at least 15%, and smallest were off up to 300%. CR-2040 probably runs hotter than the speaker crossover, so I would definitely...
