40 years ago Yamaha used the NDCR (noise distortion clearance range)to measure it's receivers at low volume settings.Yamaha CR-1020, NDCR (IHF-A) : for 0,1% into 8Ohm 20Hz to 20Khz from 100mW to 70W (Vol -20dB, Phono to SP Out)
Most other brands could not meet this kind of performance at low power levels, Yamaha could.

So we need "good" at 10 to 25 mW or so :-)... and NOT that I have anything against 1970s Yamaha, as you may know.
I've been something of a fan -- since 1976 -- and owner since 1978.I still think the stuff sounds good -- but not something I'd use for the Duplexes.
all the best,

If that's an old Yamaha CA-800 or CA-1000, the class A amplifier mode should get you close :-)

The CA-800 does indeed sound pretty good in Class A; haven't tried it on the Duplexes, though.The CA-2010 is reputed to work, but is utterly original & I've never had the chutzpah to plug it in! I've had it for years, too.
It DO look nice as a shelf queen, though, don't it? :-)
(sorry for the wide-angle lens distortion -- this pair deserves a better photo)
all the best,

Just fyi, if that really is a reel of Ampex 407 on the Otari, it's going to need baking before playing, unless it's a reformulated newer vintage.

A gift from a kind denizen @ AK some time back.Someone chided me for mixing reels on my A77. I can't now remember if my gaff was that I mixed NAB and standard hubs, or metal or plastic reels, but I am willing to believe what I was told.
So, I can't quite say I understand the physics well enough, but I'll admit to being far from a reel to reel tape pro, so I needed a metal, NAB hub take up reel or two. It's perfect for that duty, you know? :-)
