In Reply to: I am so EXCITED! Yamaha CR 2020 arriving today! posted by MannyE on March 24, 2017 at 14:36:40:
The seller (muffinhead) did a great job packing the receiver and it arrived intact and working just as he said. I'll post a picture in a few. I excitedly hooked up my two turntables to it as soon as it arried and it sounds fantastic.Compared to the phono section of the Onkyo A/V receiver that was there before there in NO contest, and this is without any restoration yet! I can only imagine that once it's all re-capped and whatever out of spec components are replaced it can only get better.
Granted, the Onkyo in question was essentially a BOTL placeholder I usually use to power the outdoor speakers, but still, why put such crappy phono sections in these things? I can see the vinyl resurgence coming to a screeching halt with all these garbage phono sections.
