That for the reply. That might be the problem then. The CA 1000 is only 70 ier side. I can get a Yamaha Pro in good shape and it's 240 per side. Would you find that a good choice? I'd need a pre amp too of course.
Help Please With Vintage Amp Selection
Hi all, I have a legacy system which I listen to often and wish to improve upon. I have a Yamaha CA 1000 integrated amp , Luxman Equalizer, Advent Large speakers,and a VPI Cliffwood turntable with a Sumiko cart. My choices are to get a Yamaha B-2 power amp and hopefully a suitable pre , or a Yamaha Pro 2002m.
Third choice would be to have my CA1000 completely serviced including possible total recapping. The B-2 scares me because of the Vfet's can't be replaced and I'm not sure about the pro series amp except it seems well thought of. I would appreciate any advice or opinions on the best options. Thanks.
