It's one of my favorite Yamaha pieces and it and the MX-10000 are the true heroes of the Centennial set. This mixed rack has a great sound all around.

My CR-2020...
A thing of beauty, form, and function...

They certainly did. This beauty replaced my Technics SU-8080, which is no slouch in its own right, the everything about this thing is simply "top shelf". It seems as if Yamaha spared no expense in every category. The case...Walnut, full brushed metal front panel, metal knobs and switches...not one single piece of plastic to be found...the tactile "click/feel" of all the switches and knobs are fully felt...nothing "mushy"...And the gauge panels? Glass...no plastic...
One would be hard pressed to find engineering and workmanship of this caliber in many modern amps/receivers today.
And that's just for starters, ya know?

CR-2020 was made from 1977 to 1979. Back then the finance department dweebs didn’t run the show …
The C-4 is back. Had a cold solder joint in the power supply that I would never have found. All is well again!

The C-4 has a really nice sweet and warm sound and once you get used to it it's hard to set aside. My B-5 (Japan M-2) is currently out of service (kerthunk noise at startup...) but hoping to get it over to the repair shop soon so I can get the wonderful C-4/B-5 pair going again. My C-4 required many visits to the shop but in the end it turned out to be a bad cap in the phono section causing all sorts of problems.

The four level becomes a fiver...plus a CDX-900u:
I also tucked the HA-1 that Asmodeus worked on for me on top of the 900u (not in view) but will need to get extra cables to finally hook it up. Also built a six tier beast from two sets of the Monolith XL racks but will require much work to shuffle it into it's finally destination at the back of the room.

That's a 2000L with heavy brass feet (not YPB-1's) at stage right. The 2000X is to the left at center stage.

For further illustration, including the 3XL beast rack:
All poles filled with sand so it's a heavy monstrosity.

It's actually a functional sound absorber (felt) so I can maintain a tight balance of dominance & submission

Wasn't really looking, but this just got posted on Marketplace by a young man close by that was "downsizing" and the price was simply too good to pass up given the exceptionally nice condition of the unit(even have the recent service receipts for the recapping and new lamps)...

The two PC5002m in the photo are my next buy I just bought the amp in the middle of the rack which is a PC-4002m
