    Yamaha CR-420 Tuner

    Yamaha CR-420

    Recently purchased a very good example of the CR-420 and have been using it the past few weeks after a deep cleaning (dedust, DEOXIT, F5, etc.). The unit works fine except for the tuning knob, which is very difficult to turn. The string looks OK and wound correctly, but there remains a lot of...

    Sanyo 220 vs Yamaha CR420 / Akai AP100C

    I recently acquired a Sanyo 220 system from my grandparents and I have no clue about the equipment in regards to value/quality and am looking for some education. These are people who would not intentionally push their equipment. I'm not a hardcore audiophile although its always been an...
