YAMAHA CA-1000 II Integrated Amplifier

Thank you for viewing.
This is a listing for a fully functional YAMAHA integrated amplifier CA-1000Ⅱ.
Please rest assured that it has been meticulously serviced to a high standard.
There are no issues with sound quality or operational functions, producing the fine, detailed sound characteristic of Yamaha that is enjoyable for long listening sessions.
All circuits (power supply, power amplifier, TONE, filter, and equalizer circuits) have been serviced.
Key points of the service include:
① All electrolytic capacitors in the power supply section (±50V) have been replaced to stabilize the power supply.
② The initial stage differential amplifier transistors or the final stage power transistors (4 units) in the power amplifier circuit have been replaced with new equivalents.
*The original parts were deteriorated and would lose DC balance after prolonged use and heating, hence the replacement.
Other deteriorated components in the circuits (e.g., EQ circuit) have been replaced to improve durability and sound quality.
I particularly enjoy the reproduction of musical instrument sounds when playing records with an MC cartridge. *I personally use a DL-103 (0.3mV).
The DC balance and idling in A/B class operation are stable with no fluctuations.
Sound quality checks reveal no noise, crackling during operation, or switching noise, so you can use it with confidence.
This is a recommended unit for those who want to experience the sound of the highly acclaimed vintage amplifier, the Yamaha CA-1000Ⅱ from 1976.
