    Default YAMAHA CA-1010 class A integrated amplifier

    This is in unbelievably good condition considering it’s age .
    It has its original box and packaging.
    Professionally serviced and upgraded speaker terminals fitted at the same time.
    £650 firm .

    I bought this to go with my Yamaha ns1000m’s but I prefer my marantz hence the sale .

    Lovely amp. I have the CR-2020 receiver that is from the same series, looks very similar and shares features with the CA-1010. Best of luck with the sale, someone is going to get a very nice amp that unlike some of the more modern stuff, will keep its value. And it's got wood!

    Wattage wise, the 1010 amp is specced at 90/8, and the 2020 receiver at 105/8. The 1010's distortion figure is .02 and the 2020 is .1 in stereo at 1khz. Weightwise, 19kg for 1010 and 19.3 for the 2020. I wouldn't like to carry either very far. It's all that iron in there, proper transformer power supplies, not SMPS like it is these days.
