Is a very good one. If you want the best Yamaha gear try and stick with late 1970s components. I love Yamaha and most of their stuff is very good sounding. I still own a R2000 receiver which was the TOTL Yamaha receiver in the early 1980s.
With that said I still would suggest you stick with the Yamaha gear that immediately precedes the early 1980s gear. The late 1970s Yamaha components were Yamaha at their best. Yamaha started introducing LSI integrated circuits into their gear starting in the early 1980s.
The 1980s stuff still sounded great but the 1970s stuff was more reliable and easier to keep running. I have never met anyone who has listened to Yamaha components from that period who did not like them.
The 1980s stuff is just a little harder to keep running right and the replacement parts are harder to come by. You get just as good sound in the slightly older gear and its more reliable. What's not to like?
