Congrats on finally getting one! The 1020 was my first vintage Yamaha purchase too... then another, then a CR-1000... let's just say I caught the bug - bad. I have a few...
Enjoy it! What speakers are you using or plan to use? I've heard good things about Polk monitors with Yamaha CR equipment, but haven't managed to snare a pair for myself yet.
BTW... to embed the picture in your post...
I like the idea of having real wood veneer on the model above my beloved CR-820. And more power, and the watt meter- cool.
Should I be hesitant to pick up one one of these should it present itself? Are the service mods I've read about here for this unit (and the CR-2020) enough for me to proceed with some hope of having a dependable receiver? These seem a little scarier than the smaller models.
Thanks,
Steve
I've gotten the Yamaha bug since buying the CR-1020 (ask 4SeatPilot!). Matter of fact - I'm picking up a CR-640 on the way home from work today!
I had the Yamaha bug before I met 4seat....he just made it worse ...Now I'm scratchin' all over from that bug..So I decided to give him the Rotel bug.....:lmao::lmao:
I am going to use my good ole Advents of about the same vintage.
