No question it is refined and smooth. However, I found the phono stage a bit too smooth and found improvement with my tubed phono stage. However, space is tight and I would like to go back to a full preamp and move the phono stage back to the workshop.
What would be an upgrade to the c65 but not as old?

Sure-
check out the newest offerings from Yamaha- A1000, A2000 & A3000 series of integrated amps w/ corresponding cd/sacd spinners. I think an upgrade in on the radar for the Fall- A1100, A2100 & A3100 separates.
In the mid 70's a friend brought over his new Yamaha integrated for me to audition. He was putting together a system and had yet to receive his speakers. Hence he gave me a shot at the Yamaha for a couple of weeks. Yamaha was certainly new to me as an audio company, but there were tons of Yamaha motorcycles around. At the time, I had an HK receiver and previously had receivers from Pioneer and Akai. An integrated was a new ball game for me, but I remember really liking the way the Yamaha looked with its excellent fit/finish and solid feel. What I wasn't prepared for was the way it sonically blew away the typical receiver of that time period. It was truly a sad day when he came to pick it up. Can't remember the model, but I remember it being rated at 45 watts per channel.
As soon as I can get some demo time w/ the latest Yamaha gear- I will post my thoughts / impressions.
