Calling All Yamahas. Time to Post Your Pics

Just got my MX-2 today. She's sporting a brand new faceplate :thmbsp:
This amp is deep, 19" IIRC. I haven't put it through the paces yet, that will have to wait till tomorrow unfortunately but I think I'm going to enjoy every one of its 170wpc.
Yamaha did a great job with the MX-1 & MX-2. Both are excellent amps.
 
Nice amp Broons, i would sugest you look for a CX-1. Then you can alwayes upgrade the MX-2 later if you desire, it also gives you a chance to compair the 2 last TOTL pre amps from Yamaha.

There is one thing I wander about so, why did Yamaha not put the trafos into a box in the box for better shielding - do any know? It looks to be quite easy the way it is build. Or is the small cobber shelding I see enough to do the trick?

NB. just don't compair it to the MX-2000, boy did that one sweep the floor. I am still puzzeled about what happend to my speakers, the M-85 was just left somewhere in the dust - wow
 
Here is my first and favorite receiver. The baby Yamaha, the R-V501.

I'm hooked!

I don't know about the shielding Anders...perhaps a cost saving measure? That doesn't really make sense though...
And no, no direct comparisons with the MX-2000 as it mops the floor with almost every amp I've ever had :thmbsp:
 
I you can't find a CX-2, then I would recommend the CX-1000U. I found one of these babies a few years ago at Yamaha, along with an MX-1, and the two work VERY well together.

I have a CX-1000 as my main preamp actually. It's paired with my MX-2000 and they too work well together.
 
Various new arrivals

My second CA/CT-1010 set, this one almost mint. In these shots the CA-1010 is hooked up to my fairly recent CT-610.

Finally decided to get my hands on the legendary T-85 and this one is in very nice shape.

Question, is there a nice silver aluminum cd player to go with my newly acquired R-700? Black face just wouldn't be right.
