I have a CA-2010 inyegrated- beautiful to look at, beautiful to listen to as well. Very acceptable mc phono stage, of course not extreme in detail but compensates with its musicality and open relaxed sound. Greta engineering in these old pieces DC offset almost perfect when I tested it a few months ago. Gets a bit toasty though in class A mode. I had a CA-1000 as one of my first pieces years ago, but the 2010 is in a different league all together. Currently having my tech service a C4 to try out shortly.
Yamaha Amp Nostalgia
I remember the Yamaha C4 and M4 with some nostalgia, as they were beyond my high school student budget, and quite beautiful with their back lit power and speaker selector switches.
20 years later, they seem to be reasonably well bid on the used market, although the lamp lights are often burned out and not easy to replace, apparently.
So last week, I impulsively bought an M2, because it looked even more powerful and more interesting than the M4, and the one I found seemed to be in good shape with working lights.
There is not much info on the web - does anyone know anything about this amp?
Thank you.
