CA 810 integrated, CT 800 tuner. Love the amp, as for the tuner, not that impressed.

TIC rates the CT-800 pretty highly. Perhaps your's needs alignment (~$75). A common malady on vintage tuners.

Moderate Score!?!

Just picked up a CR-2020 that needs a bit of Deoxit work but is in excellent cosmetic condition. And a very nice CR-1020. Maybe I can trade them for a CR-3020. :yes: That would be nice.
 
AAARGH - you guys get all the breaks!
A CR-2020 here, a 8750 there, a L-09M here... why don't don't you send some over in no-music land??
 
A late joiner to the thread :D
Here's the King of my Main Rig, the CR-2020 :)

Axel - If you are serious I'll bring along the CR-2020 in July. You meet us at CDG to pick it up and give us a ride to the hotel (I am, of course, assuming you have an AMG 500 or something similar, like all high fashion Parisian photographers :D ).

CR-1020 shown below.

Glenn - Bring some of your B-2´s with you and you will have a driver from Germany for your complete trip ! :D

As a SONY fan my only Yamaha is a CD player ... a cute CDX-10 :scratch2:

Always loved it for it´s very nice design and after a small modification of mine, it is now a premium CD transport and my first choice !

The SONY CDP-X5000 is only dominating on the picture ... sound wise it isn´t dominating at all ... :)

Mirko - Nothing in Orion about the CDX-10. While not the latest technology, the CDX-1100 and CDX-1120 that I'm currently listening to are both very nice. There is a CDX-1110 on eBay at the moment. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5869599655&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1 I'm saving for the last of Yamaha's great CDX-XXXX models, so I can't buy it. :tears: But, once the one I want shows up, it will, like the PS-8750, be worth the wait. :thmbsp:

Wish I could bring over a B-2 for your review. Would be great fun. But, doing a critical audition and review of a piece of stereo gear is not exactly what my wife would want during our vacation. :D So, while I could haul it over, I couldn't listen to it

Best use for a pool table I've ever seen!!
 
Recently picked up a CR-1020 and a CR-2020. :thmbsp: They are both very nice cosmetically and the CR-1020 works just as good as it looks. The CR-2020 has issues, so will have to pull it apart to see what's going on. Wonderful receivers.

Also, have a nice (at least cosmetic) DSP-1 surrround processor. Got a while back when I thought I wanted to try HT. But, I'll never do that. MRSP was a kewl $1K, when new. You can have for $25 plus shipping. Thanks.

Here is our fourth Yamaha system. As soon as I can build some speaker stands this CR-600 and the Polk Monitor 5As will head up to the master bedroom.

Your veneering never ceases to amaze me Rob :tresbon:
 
Is the CDX-10 old enough to actually be a Yamaha product or new enough to be a rebadged Philips or Samsung (or whomever)?

A bare (no UC-1) B-1 just sold on eBay for $711. Guess it is getting some respect. :thmbsp: Have noticed that vintage Yamaha high-end separates have had the same few bidders of late (amps, preamps, CDPs and some tuners). Any AKers going for these?

The CDX-10 was part of a small line of "lifestylish" components, which was called "classic line".
All of them had very intriguing looks, but also more than average performance.

Other units were TX-10, RX-V10, AX-10, MDX-9, CDX-9, KX-W10.

I had a CDX-580 and a CDX-590 before and I must say, that even in stock condition the CDX-10 is already sounding slightly better.
Technically it lies somewhere between the CDX-480/490 and the CDX-880/890. All these CD-players are excellent in tracking scrached discs.
They can be turned into real (Mark Levinson, Krell, Wadia ...) killers with some tweaking.
The pickups are still available (Yamaha used Sony pickups here).
