Yamaha - CA-2010 Solid state integrated amplifier

Yamaha CA-2010
Integrated stereo amplifier (1977-80)

Product description:

The Yamaha CA-2010 amplifier is a masterpiece of 1970s audio engineering, featuring a robust build and top-quality materials. Housed in an elegant wooden cabinet with a cut-to-edge finish and a minimalist aesthetic, this amplifier retains a refined style even after four decades. With its 21 kg of wood, aluminum, and steel, the CA-2010 delivers exceptional sound performance thanks to 120 watts per channel and an extremely low total harmonic distortion of only 0.005%.

A distinctive feature of this model is its dual operating modes: Class A with 30 watts per channel for a more intimate and refined listening experience, and Class A/B delivering the full 120 watts per channel. The front panel hosts high-quality Alps controls mounted directly on the board, including tape loop, tone controls, filters, phono preamplifier MM/MC, selectable Class A operation, and level indicators for power and recording.

Particularly noteworthy is the longevity-oriented construction philosophy: every component is accessible and almost everything is repairable even after four decades, a significant advantage compared to modern equipment with integrated processors and miniaturized components.
