Like the rest of the Natural Sound family it flips between Class A for pure, low-distortion listening (2x30W) and Class B for muscle (2x120W), but here with more power, a beefier 21kg build, and a phono stage borrowed from the high-end C-2. Golden-era Japanese hi-fi close to its peak: silver faceplate, dual VU meters, wood cabinet, and that unmistakable smooth Yamaha voicing. A serious daily driver for someone who wants the CA sound with extra headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable Class A\/B:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure 2x30W Class A or a muscular 2x120W Class B at the flick of a switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Power Than the CA-1000:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bigger CA-series flagship, with extra headroom and grip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eC-2-Grade Phono Stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e MM and MC with a built-in head amp, lifted from Yamaha's high-end separates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGolden-Era Build:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21kg of transformer, heatsinks and wood-cased craftsmanship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual VU Meters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic metering and that gorgeous silver-and-wood Yamaha look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaily Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e A main-system amp, not a shelf ornament.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Vintage Knob (which files it under its export name CA-2010) calls it a keeper and a sleeper with \"great drive \u0026amp; finesse.\" \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thevintageknob.org\/yamaha-CA-2010.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead more at The Vintage Knob.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yamaha CA-2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1977\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated stereo amplifier, Class A\/B switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2x120W (Class B), 2x30W (Class A) into 8 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono:\u003c\/strong\u003e MM and MC with built-in head amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTone:\u003c\/strong\u003e multi-stage tone controls, loudness, filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e around 21 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2x phono, tuner, aux, 2x tape, pre-out\/main-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49718900490479,"sku":null,"price":14500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/DSC00403.jpg?v=1780996446","url":"https:\/\/innerpieces.art\/products\/yamaha-ca-2000-the-class-a-b-flagship-that-outguns-the-ca-1000","provider":"Inner Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
