The Yamaha RX-V1700 does a great job in my son's bedroom. The Yamaha is powering the Klipsch RC-64ii center channel and the Rotel RB-960BX (60x2) amp is powering the Klipsch RF-7's.

Thx Mark. Everything except the TV, PS4 and Bluray player were Craigslist deals.

I just added a CD player to my silver face system.

Yamaha CDX-810 and CA-810.

Nice. Now you need a Yammie tuner to complete the package.

Beautiful! Love the blue backlighting.

...and forgive me for this - I know a tuner doesn't produce much heat but perhaps you could find another place to put your vinyl. For any of our beloved vinyl to warp would be a sad thing...

Thanks!

And also thanks for your advice Tom, but as you pointed out, this tuner doesn't heat at all. It's a CT-610 which has more empty space inside than electronics.

Indeed. Is that a Yamaha TT? They made some nice ones.

Yes, the turntable is also a Yammi. It's a YP-D71.

Beautiful set up:thmbsp: What speakers are you running it through?

Thank you!

I'm running this setup with a pair of german vintage active speakers. So the CA-810 is only used as a preamp. I plug some passive speakers from time to time, to use the main amp also.

Off topic picture of the speakers: Backes & Müller Sigma

In fact I was looking for Yamaha speakers, before those B&M speakers came up for sale close to me (at a fifth of normal street price). Honestly, I must say, I don't regret getting these at all instead of some Yamahas… maybe the look, those NS-690 or NS-1000 are just beautiful.

Either of those Yamaha speakers would make an excellent match to your CA-810.

What cartridge are you using?

Hi, I'm mainly using an AT12XE cartridge. It's the cartridge that came with the turntable when I got it, and I'm very happy with it. But I upgraded the stylus with an ATS12S (Shibata needle).

I know the would be a good match, but I'm not the only one making decisions here…

For good reason, and that's a great example.
