    Better used amplifier options

    Hi all! I've been a long-time looker but have only ever made one post before, so apologies if I mess something up. I'm a college student on a budget looking for some sort of power amp/integrated to drive either my ELAC B6s or Energy Connoisseur C8s (I haven't decided which I'll use for 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. Piece by piece I’ve been reading up (and down), making lists, checking them 100 times...

    Yamaha preamp. Best choice?

    Looking to upgrade my amplification. Recapped a CR1020 and love it’s sound in my second system. Consequently, in my main system I’m now thinking of getting the best sounding Yamaha preamp I can. So C4, C2a, or CX1000, or other? Happy to do recapping. Also, what’s the best Yamaha power amp to...

    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...

    Yamaha C-70 & C-80

    I just debated for hours between the C-70 preamp and the C-80. I opted for the C-80 and am hoping I made the right decision. 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...
