Fs: Yamaha ca-1010

[andyrlb]

Well I bought this only yesterday from a pfm member thinking it would better my Pm4, clearly it didn’t ( to my ears ) regardless of this it is a stunning amp, beautifully made and in near mint condition, it has its original packaging and it’s recently been serviced professionally and upgraded speaker terminals were fitted at the same time .
I have never seen any piece of Hifi from the 70’s in such good condition.
I would post at buyers expense ( and risk ) though this is heavy .
I paid £650 for it and that’s my asking price ( firm ) .https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180805/13138c93a0a5d1be8a359fa15b01adcf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180805/d537a32004db214a7a775192249164dd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180805/ba999d64a674c72b4ec6b716feeaa47e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180805/184261207d52f6940189770f34fbfd91.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180805/29e1e6fea2adf9639eb80d40971b666d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180805/e796a9e1fb770721180fbbbff64692e0.jpg

Wow the pm4 must be something special Andy, because these big Yamahas are superb amps.

GLWS, a beautiful bit of eye candy.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSometimes you need to test your hear against other bits and it's a nice feeling when you are happier with what you already have. Good on ya for trying.

One thing I've found is sometimes it's worth leaving a new thing in your system for a week or so even if you're not sure about it and then switch back once your ears are accustomed to the sound. If you still prefer the old amp by a wide margin then you're definitely right to sell.

Also probably worth mentioning it's Class A, I assume that's what that operation switch does, the bottom legend is partially hidden.

I have left the yammie in the system Lawrence with exactly that in mind, having said that it was immediately clear that something was missing , but hey we’ll see and hopefully I’m wrong .

Fantastic build quality looks and style. My worry about committing to such kit is the fact that it is 40 years old. and sometimes failing components may be obsolete and replacements hard and/or expensive to find. I would love a modern amp built into the cases of such an amp. I have a forty year old Trio i use as a headphone amp and love it. however, i am dreading the day it goes pop!
