Dual Cv 1160 Service Manual
Even NAD released a more audiophile edition of the classic , namely the Besides other small differences, the had no tone or balance controls. Hence, it came as a big surprise when Yamaha released this A! Moreover, it was claimed to have a high dynamic power stage, a low noise MM phono stage and the capability to drive low impedance loudspeakers.
Actually, what does that 20 stand for? Originally, it was the power output into 8 ohms of the NADs! Now, while the other NAD competitors had their own moments of glory, the Yamaha A had never been taken into serious account by audiophiles. Time has come, after 35 years, to give the A all the attention it deserved, as a pretty unique amplifier in the history of the Japanese brand. What's inside?
And certainly NOT Nichicon stuff. Oh yes, there's a good quality, low noise phono stage, with gold plated RCA connectors and a headphone socket. Finally, a nice touch of finesse is the use of copper screws throughout on the circuit board. Moreover, two strips of damping rubber glued to the power supply transformer act as a vibration absorption interface for the top cover. There's no way to use thick wires, forks or bananas.
The power cord is of the fixed kind, so if you wish to experiment with different power cords you need to install an IEC socket. Yamaha A - bold claims! The Japanese reply to the NAD ! Of course its real performance can be bettered by replacing the power supply caps, for example, with new, fresh ones.
The reason why I didn't recap it before listening is because I wanted to give you an idea of its sound after more than 30 years. I've never been a fan of Yamaha components, especially amplifiers and CD players. Their Natural Sound claim always sounded a bit bold to me, since there was always a trace of dryness that made me think of some kind of electronic sound rather than natural.
In any case, this A was a completely different beast: how could they go wrong with something so well designed and essential?
Indeed, this small and forgotten amplifier is special. Its sound isn't clinical , not dry or cold. First of all it has a bass range to die for: powerful, deep and dramatic when required. Certainly, it doesn't sound like any standard 30 watt amplifier. The sound is bold, big and solid. And the most entertaining thing is that the sound gets bigger as the volume goes up, instead of becoming compressed and dynamically challenged. The high power output power transistors claimed to dissipate watts per channel are certainly oversized for the task, and this means there's enough headroom to cope with the highest demands of bass and dynamics.
Secondly, there's a huge with respect to the rated power output energy reserve, made possible by the big Nichicon uF power supply caps. The result is an amplifier that invites you to crank the volume up, no matter what your neighbours might say. The sound possesses a natural pulse that makes your feet stomp incessantly. Entertaining, to say the least. This gift is definitely welcomed when playing pop and rock tracks, especially. The mid range is clean, with low distortion on voices and strings.
Some slight trace of dryness might be audible, from time to time, and certainly this amplifier can't be defined euphonic. The same character is shared by the high range: not exactly rich in harmonic content, it simply gets the job done, with precision, low distortion levels and almost non-existent harshness.
I was expecting a bright mid-high range but this A proves my prejudices were wrong. Dynamically, this amplifier is a power station. It sounds loud and authoritative, much more than you'd expect from a 30 watts per channel inexpensive amplifier. Moreover, it drives even tough loads with ease! Punchy, fast, controlled, dramatic when required.
It can control woofers with authority, with no trace of distortion even in the lowest notes. Playing rock or symphonic traces is an extremely entertaining experience.
More than once I forgot to take notes and started changing discs, one after the other, just for the joy of listening. Things become a bit challenging when it comes to examine its soundstaging abilities.
Unfortunately, the stage it creates is mostly flat, well developed horizontally and vertically, but with almost no sense of depth. This is very strange and might depend on the age of the components inside. As I said, this amplifier has never been serviced or recapped. If you forget the depth of the image, the soundstage it reproduces is reasonable, with stable contours and an acceptable clear focus on instruments and singers.
Summarizing, this is an amazing performer, even by today's standards. It is an entertainer, with strong and controlled bass, amazing dynamics, low levels of distortion and a mostly neutral a bit dry, I admit tonal balance. The natural competitor, my NAD recapped and tweaked is slightly more refined in the mid-high range and has a better imaging.
The voices are more natural and, overall, there's that harmonic richness that the A lacks. On the other end, it is not as rhythmic as the A and the bass range is slightly less powerful. In a few words: the is more transparent and precise but less entertaining. Complaints As already pointed out, the speaker spring loaded clips are horrible and definitely out of place in such a well designed amplifier.
A real shame. Stock feet are extremely cheap and should be replaced. Soundwise, this is a very fine and competent performer, which sound above any expectation. That said, its soundstaging performance is poor, to say the least. Top end refinement could be better, in terms of harmonic content. Yamaha A vs the legendary NAD Some advice It is so simple and essential that there are few things that can need a replacement, except power supply caps. Thankfully, power output transistors are still available.
New speaker binding posts, feet and power cord should be the first place to start a tweaking session. Considering the age, some deoxidizing spray on the input selectors, volume pot and power supply fuse contacts is almost mandatory.
Availability This amplifier is a rare bird. It is not easy to find in the second hand market as it wasn't exactly a best-seller at that time. Sometimes they pop up on Ebay and the asking price is highly variable. Conclusions This A deserved much more consideration during its time.
It was and still is! Probably not as musical and gentle as the NAD , but more muscular and involving. It certainly deserves a very special place in our Jurassic S Park! After publication of reviews, the authors do not retain samples other than on long-term loan for further evaluation or comparison with later-received gear. TNT-Audio will publish all manufacturer responses, subject to the reviewer's right to reply in turn. Jurassic S park! Yamaha A - horrible spring loaded speaker clips!
