christosd Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Item: Yamaha CX-1 preLocation: ADLPrice: $400 ono inc postage in AusItem Condition: 6/10 Scratches on top of unit and bal/treble/bass pots scratchy ( I always bypassed via "Pure Direct" mode so it never worried me)Reason for selling: No longer neededPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: Apparently has a good sounding MM and MC load phono stage which I tried and seemed OK but my ME25 was around by the time I got a TT. See a few words about it here... http://www.thevintageknob.org/yamaha-CX-1.html A highlight, though is the excellent remote that I used for Channel Switching, volume control and I programmed it to also control my TV - DVD via a learn function. I had it since near new (20 plus years) but haven't used it for a while so not sure on its total operating condition hence the low price. It did work on at least 2 of the inputs when I last tried a few months ago but I think I would be planning on cleaning up the pots (all ALPS!) and giving the once over with the odd cap/resistor change and dry joint tidy up if I bought it. I didn't bother because I moved onto the ME25 when I started listening to music again.Pictures: Edited October 19, 2016 by christosd
christosd Posted October 19, 2016 Author Posted October 19, 2016 Dropped price to 400 and forgot to add photo of control panel with bypassable eq, multiple rec out options, subsonic filter and headphone output. This unit suits my ideal world of bringing lots of hifi bits home, racking em in a shelf in the shed hooking it all up to it, and playing around with lots of TT's lots of sources and lots of reel to reels - all selectable by remote. Its got 3 tape inputs with a separate record out selector independent of the input selected. Unfortunately I have been unable to organise my life to being anywhere near ideal so this never got used to its full potential :-)
