Description
Yamaha CA-1010 Natural Sound Stereo Integrated Amplifier (1977-1979) - one of Yamaha's finest integrated amps of the late 70s, and a genuine classic of the Natural Sound era.
The CA-1010's party trick is its switchable output stage: run it in Class A at 22 watts per channel for that warm, effortless Class A sound, or flip to Class B at 100 watts per channel when you need real muscle. Either way you get Yamaha's famously clean, neutral Natural Sound presentation, dual analog VU meters, and a proper MC/MM phono stage for your turntable.
This is the exact unit in the photos - silver faceplate, wood case, and it powers on (see the lit meters in the photos). One unit only.
