Yea, I agree. They were on their game. I bought my CR2020 years ago and just threw it into service in the bedroom hooked up to a pair of Sonus Faber Concertos. It was on 24/7 for a few years as the flat screen was hooked up to it also. It finally failed and I just chunked it under the bed and replaced it with my McIntosh MAC4300. A few months ago, cleaning up for the painter, I found the old broken CR2020. I was heading to the trash with it when I just started to realize how nice the wood case was, the heft of the the transformer, etc. I stopped and instead placed it on my work bench for a winter project, or to strip down for parts. I found the service bulletins and opened it up. Sure enough the PS was toast. With help from this forum and Brad the King, I fixed the power supply and got it up and running. It sounded like it did when I first got it. Not real good. It had that solid state etch to the sound. I am a tube guy myself. But I went ahead and recapped the entire receiver. My ole my was I surprised when I gave it another listen after a few days of break in. Wow, very nice. A very refined sound with plenty of punch but easy on the ears. I had never heard this beast. It was toast when I first got it, I just did not know it! It is a keeper. Nice Yamaha! Nice! :yes:
