Exchange a Yaqin tube amp for a Yamaha CA1000mk2

Tubes and solid state do not sound the same.

Although I would generally agree, but I believe that Bob Carver proved this to be a myth decades ago.

Yes I agree with your assessment to some extent, I in fact have a Carver pre and amp in storage. Carver gear has a very robust warm tubey sound which is my point. Does Yamaha have a tubey sound? Don't know never heard this particular Yamaha.

I sure as hell hope not.

The Yammie is going up in value, the Yaqin is going down--just sayin'

Not really. Seems to hold value if you click on the used price history tracker.
