Vintage Yamaha CDC-635 CD Player Changer Clean and Test
I recently moved house, and in a cupboard I found this revolting looking Yamaha CDC-635, along with a RX-460 receiver amplifier.
I would have loved to have one of these in 1993, so join me as we clean this old girl up and see if she has some life left in her.

      I'm not familiar with your Yamaha amp, but I would suspect the Yammy would probably perform better than the Quad. It really depends on the kind of sound that you are looking for. The Tannoys would I imagine have a would have a pretty English mellow kind of sound. Maintaining that theme I think the dynaco would be a good match. But both the Yamaha and the Dynaco are great amps, but very different also - beauty is in the ear of the beholder and it really just depends on what you like the best.

    From memory the Stereo 20 was slightly simplified. T&D were said to be very unhappy at being copied. As someone pointed out , if so why publish in a magazine ? It was very typical to use published designs. Mullard and RCA. Dynaco being RCA. RCA happy to sell the parts. T&D was based on the H C Lin circuit of 1957 . Peter Baxendale made a big improvement which Naim used.

  • @julesl6910
    @julesl6910 16 днів тому

    I think a potential mistake you made here is not reforming the filter caps for a few hours, please correct me if you did. But as long as the amp is working for a few moments in test, put the system on a dim bulb tester with say a 100 watt bulb and let it ride for half a day. Testing the ESR on a cap like these without at least running them for a few hours, on equipment that likely hasn't been worked for months or years or decades, give them a chance. I have replaced so many filter caps on principle only to later realize that just running them for a few hours and they test as well or better than the replacements at high voltage.

With 3 years of listening that has not been my experience, and as I said, a pre-amp should change nothing except for gain - unless one is particularly wanting to change the tone which is what tone controls are for.

    Noticed an audible difference sharp spikes bring about. Have a felt backed, soundproofing carpet resting on additional cork sheet on a concrete floor at mine. Low frequency definition improves markedly with spikes allowed to dig into the concrete vs. just resting on circular, locating pads they came with. Not sure how to describe it, but when anchored, the lows seem deeper and hit harder, in a more point like fashion. Wonder if it would work at yours. Obviously, the spikes are shaped like a tip of a dart, rather than a cone and about an inch in length, so that the speakers are elevated above the carpet. Once levelled, a nut allows to lock the thread in place.

    • @audionautica6843
      @audionautica6843 2 місяці тому

      I'm sure it would be doable - I could just put knock in inserts on the bottom side and screw the spike in there. However I would suspect I might be dabbling with diminishing returns. If you watched carefully you would note that the room is seriously compromised as a listening room - speakers in the corners with one halfway in a doorway - there just isn't anywhere else. :-( I certainly have noticed a big difference with these stands in a) getting them up off the floor b) substantial decoupling from the floor at bass frequencies - it is much much better than it was with those big speakers sitting directly on a timber floor. Thanks for your comment!

      @@audionautica6843 You're right, suspended timber behaves in a much more "lossy" and unpredictable manner. Even the speakers destined for the American market tend to have a higher Q & resonance frequency to compensate. In my previous setup, I have had some success with marble slabs, about 3inches tall and slightly larger than the bases of the speakers. I had placed thin strips of compliant rubber between the slabs the speakers and thicker ones between the floor and the slabs. You could feel the slabs vibrating, almost like a pendulum on spring, but transmission to the floor was much diminished. The slabs were around 40kG each, bit less, than the speakers.

    Beautiful amps! I have ordered lots of things from Yahoo aleado through Jauce. But I never ordered expensive stuffs. Only cheap vintage Japanese turntables, accessories. Packaging was always bombproof. At my very last order the guys in Jauce warehouse broke a stylus of cartridge and never admitted their responsibility and fault, so I have stopped using them. Also DHL raised shipping prices crazy high in the last three years, so only rare and expensive hi-fi gears worth to buy from there. And yeah, the risk is always there... impossible to repair because someone already messed up inside. All my gears working now I bought from Japan, but required lots of hours refurbishing.

    Hey man thanks for all theses informations, I have a few questions though, ( I don't think I got everything right english is not my mother tongue). Also I know nothing about this hobby, just getting started. But basically I am currently playing music from my computer sending qobuz tracks to my audio gd R28 NOS going to my Arya stealth headphones, I am looking for a clean source, would that solution will work for a headphone set up? Also I am not sure i get how you connect all this, could my laptop send the information to the raspberry related by I2S to my dac/amp? Does that make sense? I wish you a good day, thanks again, bye!

    • @audionautica6843
      @audionautica6843 2 місяці тому

      You DAC looks quite interesting, and I see it has an I2S input. So to answer your question we need to think about where your music actually comes from, and how it gets into your ears. So what we have now is this: Internet (Qobuz)->laptop->USB->Dac->Headphones. So effectively all your laptop is doing is converting Qobuz from the internet into USB to get it into your DAC. The problem is that USB is a terrible interface for clock reliability. The best interface for a DAC for clocking perspective is I2S. Now I have to say firstly I think the single biggest thing that matters in musical enjoyment is that you are using Qobuz. Just changing from AAC or MP3 files to Lossless files and changing nothing else makes a HUGE difference. Hopefully you have already noticed that. So I don't think that you are going to get an astronomical improvement. But you will get an improvement by improving the digital signal going into your DAC so as to minimise jitter etc... You could do this by using the same hardware I am using, or there are other ways of doing it. I am using Tidal, not Qobuz. I am running Volumio on my Pi Raspberry board, and I am pretty sure it supports Qobuz instead. So what you would do is not use the laptop anymore, but use the streamer, and so what you would then have is this: Internet (Qobuz)->Steamer->I2c->DAC->Headphones Now the noisy USB interface is gone and you have a high quality I2C interface to your DAC. You would need to check the pinouts are the same from the streamer to the DAC!!!! I hope this is of help.

    You could have put the star washers in vinegar, it would have restored then sufficiently for this restoration.

    OOOOO-m-g!!!! These crown ce-1000/ce-2000 amps are some of THEE WORST amps to work on. I've seen a service manual and it's at LEAST an inch thick!!!! Pretty sure crown outsourced the design to china or japan. WAY to much smt in them! If you have a working model enjoy it while it lasts. If it breaks, sell it cheep to someone that can use it for parts and just buy a new amp, cuz none of them are worth even the most gifted techs time!!!!

    I am trying to recover mine, all is now working, except for when the treble is 100%, it sounds like voltage interference going through, and one resistor next to big capacitors R721 gets really hot and starts smoking. But if I bring treble to 80% all is good.. any ideas? Thanks

      Sorry, not off hand. Perhaps check the capacitors.

    I build an 7C clone, etched my own circuit board, using 6 tubes 12AX7 and used regulated voltage. Deleted the tone controls and volume pot. I should make a video soon, i focused on the RIAA circuit and calculated for best curves and used best components. It sounds amazing, I'll post soon. Nice video by the way!

    My 80s PIONEER amp. @110-watts per side @ 8-ohms. hisses a bit after 10-oclock it always has.. It's not a loud hiss but you can hear it a bit.. I don't think there's anything wrong with the circuit... You do great work...

    Estoy buscando una SOLUCION a "instalar " un Radio Fm o receptor de frecuencias Fm (93.5 en mi país emisora deportiva y noticias) por internet a un Amplificador Fosi audio ZA3. Será que lo podré lograr con un Rasperry. ... y de paso será posible hacerle o existe un Control Remoto (como el de las TV) para controlar dicho Rasbperry, .. espero no estar pidiendo mucho, jeje

    Having brought an amp that was released around the same time as the 3020 (Denon PMA350) as a gift to myself for geting my first proper paid job, I'm starting to feel old now these are referred to as "vintage" 😅
