Bumping up this very old thread but I bought a Yamaha T-2 in October via that well-known auction site here in the UK. Even through my humble system I can tell it is a cut above all previous tuners I have heard. Admittedly I have never had anything re...

These were my first high end speakers purchased in 1980. They have been sitting in my basement for about 30 years as I've gone through everything from VMPS super tower 2 ar's to B&W 800 to my self built Edgar horns, which I’ve been using for abou...

Hi all, I am new to this forum and am in UK. Having browsed this forum for a few days I have decided to join.I have a Yamaha CT7000 FM tuner and was wondering how much it is worth. The unit is immaculate, including the teak casework.RgdsMike...

I did not record the video of this different reverberation ideas, probably will do this weekend. DSP 100 was fine, was supposed to dozen other units, before they reach the very end of the line which was DSP 3000. Look up a lot of amplifiers which...

Maybe the Yamaha will do better than the S3.http://www.azurahorn.com/Yamaha_on_204.pdf...

Thanks, scooter.
I do not know Vince from Watertown. As long he does not work for Goodwins’ from Watertown I might be able to talk with him…. After some consideration I picked today Yamaha B-2 amp. It is V-FET from 1978, it might be interestin...

Hi Romy, I had a background system for a while using either Kef 103.2 or tannoy gold 15¨ and McIntosh MC2205. I don't know anything about the other McIntosh gear but this particular amp had a reputation amongst french vintage nuts. My old Threshold...

Yamaha B-2 reportedly was a top-flying amp in end of 70s, during it very brief production period. It has in a way cult reputation, so I’ve bitten it.
I was forced to very mildly and temporary modify it, just running the signal directly the ent...

Keeping harassing different people bout the most interesting options for multiplex decoder for my Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 I was wondering if it makes sense to me to use the Rohde. It is a very good tuner but it is not necessary result in better s...

For the Yamaha dedicated DSP reverb amplifiers, they actually went into various concert halls, had a special 4 microphone geometry capable of determining direction and used an impulse tone (I believe a pistol shot) and measured where the reflections ...

HI AllHas anyone one here have any experience with Yamaha 6681B. I have a good pair with working original diaphragms lined up. I will be looking at using them in a 400hz Le Cleac'h above a 100cm 160hz Horn, possibly with a Fane 8m from the current GB...

It wasn't the caps. The 12 inch drivers were both frozen solid after being stored in a dry basement for 30 years. Looks like the coils somehow fused to the magnets.Ordered a used pair from Japan for $300 with shipping and they arrived after 20 days i...

Well, I think my Yamaha B-2 is not working well. It slightly cures my ego with MiniMe. I took today the B-2 and drive them with good conventional loudspeakers and it had the same sound –very very howly (and ugly!!!) sound under 200Hz… I wonder, do I ...
|
|
I thought the B1 was Yamaha's V-FET and the B2 was a later "hybrid", but I suppose both are Vintage Sufferer's wet dreams. I have never heard either amp, anyway.
Yamaha B1 and B2 conceptually the same amp. B1 is made only with one polarity V-...

Hi Romy,Given the Yamaha's age, I am not surprised it sounds terrible. Someone needs to go through old caps, lousy transistors and cracked solder joints. After service, it should be close to or better than new specs; it might not sound very good, b...

I was listening recently my revived Yamaha B-2 and was thinking if it has “interesting” in bass. Coincidently this week had great influence by the celebrated contrabassoonist Susan Nigro, so I shut down Macondo and let B-2 with MiniMe to care the job...

I got today the papers for my B-2 amp. A quick look at the circuitry and rea...

The greatest thing that happened to my Yamaha B2 amp was the fact that I got rid of my MiniMe ported bass section. The MiniMe is truly nice now and I operate in the highly desirable not annoying status. That all made me to pay more attention to w...

Last week a local audio guy come to my place to listed some music and I played to him my Wand’s Bruckner 4 in video room. With all “phenominality” of the performance I need to confess that sound was horrible. The guy did not complain, so I did not st...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] After some consideration I picked today Yamaha B-2 amp. It is V-FET from 1978, it might be interesting. Post Vince’s site or his shop info I might need to have B-2 serviced or modified. I think the 140W of B-2 might be goo...

I worked on the Dannoy's for about a year, first with the Vitavox bass driver, then using two tannoy red 10's using only the cone for the second unit to improve volume and bass reproduction. Changed out amplifiers, used original, English new knockoff...

This would involve some researching... thus introduing (possibly unecessary) complexity: look for a Sony or Yamaha or Sansui "power j-fet" amp. These were produced s/where in the mid '70s and should be very cheap now. I have listened to a Yamaha...
