    Yamaha TT-400U

    Hello everyone! I've been using audiokarma for a while now, and it's been a great resource as I've built my budget friendly system. You all have been a great help to me as I've researched used receivers, turntables, speakers, and subwoofers that I've found on Craigslist and FB Martketplace. My...

    First step in building analogue in a digital world : a Yamaha CA-2010

    Some of you may recognise me from my introductory post where I wanted to get into a warm, deep, tube systems from the late 70s to replace the fairly digital systems I currently run in my smallish urban home.

    Yamaha Schematic Symbols

    Yamaha has not posted a key on the schematic. Trying to understand what the symbols may mean. Notice the caps that have a circle adjacent to them, what does this circle represent? I do understand that the "J" represents 5%.

    I've got a Yamaha CR-840. It had blown a capacitor, which I replaced. Was working just fine when all of the sudden it shut off. Now, when I turn it on nothing comes on whatsoever. No lights even, which had come on just fine before even when it wouldn't make sound. The only thing that does...

    Hello all, I am a proud owner of some 1989 Klipschorns. I have Fortes and used to have La Scala Industrial. I love the Forte, wasn't as enthusiastic about the La Scala but they were bone stock with original 1988 crossovers. Forte I recapped but haven't gotten around to changing to Crites...

    Yamaha RX-V1500 will not power on

    I've had this receiver for a year or two. Does not run hot. Never had even a hiccup from it. I usually just leave it on 24/7. The other day, when I was near by it, I heard the fan running. Indeed, it was powered on and the fan was running. I hit the power button and turned it off. I thought this...

Im a strictly vinyl guy, so the Direct Disc phono deal on the C-70 really had my interest, but I figured the C-80 had to be the better of the two. Any input? Its not too...
