So I just purchased an almost mint Yamaha CR-800 after reading the raving reviews for this series, Only damage is slight edge chips on the chassis. This is an upgrade from my Old Realistic Sta-84. I am excited to say the least, but I have some questions. I noticed it has a Preamp out, this is for connecting to a dedicated power amp, correct? It also has a main in? Is this for an external Preamp? "IF OUT" I assume is for a trigger of some sort.
Also, what components should be replaced assuming they need to be.
I found it from a guy from the community online who made a private listing for me so I could purchase it.
This should be quite an upgrade from my Sta-84. My Speakers are Boston A100s which I would imagine should sound amazing on this receiver. Besides obviously a "Natural sound", what can I expect in comparison to my Realistic? Good headphone amp? I do know the tuner is top notch. Any more information and insight on this receiver would be great! I paid $140 for it, which seemed really good compared to what even a not so good condition CR-600 go for.
As far as I can tell, the CR-800 is quite rare, as I can find no current listings anywhere online.
The first pic is my setup, receiver pics are from the listing.
