I was listening to Johnny Cash's last album, an album with memorable covers like Hurt. There is something about this receiver that puts you right into the recording studio. I'm using you very affordable Micca MB42X speakers. For streaming and to connect my DVD player for CDs, I use a Fiio BR13 Bluetooth DAC - I use the bluetooth to connect my phone or tablets for streaming music. This receiver has a pure, clean depth to its sound. I feel like Johnny is singing a personal concert to me. Amazing 1970s vintage greatness from Yamaha.

Hum, speaker terminals will not improve the sound of your receiver or amp. It just allow to use larger speaker cables or terminals.

another way to upgrade it is to send it to Gilbert Yeung for mods

Line level to speaker adapter lets you add a subwoofer. Nice job (caught it late). Thanks for sharing!

Not mentioning the tons of work and new parts on that unit!..let alone the cost that the shop charged...I rebuild all my vintage audio myself...easy work,parts are abundant and it's a great hobby for those of us with a true love for vintage audio... videos like this is for lazy people who want everything done for them because their pockets can afford it! Helps boost the ego or bragging rights factor amongst the new generation yuppie communities also!!😮😮😊

The veneer on the CR-820 is actually a high grade vinyl.

I hooked a Bluetooth receiver up to an unused tape 2 input. It works great. I can use my phone to wirelessly stream audio and as a remote.

My dad gave his Yamaha to Goodwill. I immediately went there but it was gone. A couple years later, I found his Yamaha cassette deck at a junk shop. I knew it was his because of a scratch I accidentally made as a kid. After I recovered the tape deck, I inquired about the receiver. It was bought by a local fire department for the town dances. A short time later, I found a CR-820 an an antique shop that sells records. It is a couple models down from what dad had, but I love it and it recaptures the memories of jamming to the records and tapes.

I didn't know how to tie it into my TV -Cool !

I have been a stereo/sound guy for a long time. I had a big Kenwood 8010 receiver 120 WPC and had fun with it. I bought a Yamaha R-100 in the mid 80's because it was a standard 17" wide had a digital tuner and a remote. I still have it and it sounds amazing. I missed the look of the old analog receivers and remembered my roommate had an CR-820. I finally found one and have been enjoying the vintage sound and look. I'm glad you are enjoying your Yamaha. Seeing younger people experiencing vintage equipment makes me happy. They are fairly easy to fix, tough to kill and sound great. Being able to connect older and newer technology together and increase functionality is a great idea. I often use my new/old i-pod with my pro audio or home gear. Unlike the old days it is great to have 80 gig of music without lugging hundreds of albums around. It is nice not having to stream or use Bluetooth when the signal is poor.

Great review man, it was very informative🙌🏾

Video. I just bought my first receiver and it is a Yamaha cr-820 and I like it a lot, even though it has very sensitive knobs to the touch (especially the volume). But what concerns me the most at the moment is the temperature of your transformer. I immediately thought of adapting some kind of fan, but I would like to know if you have any experience with this idea. Thank you very much I remain attentive to your comment

Nice job. I have a whole herd of vintage receivers. Yamaha may have the best sound to my ears compared to many that I've owned. Sony is great, too, similar to Marantz sound. Of course that depends on the years of manufacture. I didn't care for my Pioneer SX-850, thin mid range where most of the music lives. These old units as you appreciate are beautiful, built like tanks and worth preserving. I hate AV receivers.

Thanks so much for making this review! Did you by any chance change the speaker terminals yourself or was that part of the restoration at Huppin's? I couldn't find any videos on how to do this and was wondering if a DIY'er can perform this?

How would that act with a focal clear?

Good presentation, and I also definitely appreciate anyone trying to cut through all the hype. DACs almost seem to be the most esoteric link in the audiophile chain, and anything that helps make them less mysterious and better understood is actually helpful. I have been using this dongle with a Schitt Heresy, and have been pretty happy with what it can do. I’m sure I’ll upgrade both amp and dac someday, but for now I am still reveling in hearing things in music I’ve never before appreciated. And there is at least one major audiophile blogger who has extolled the virtues of this dongle, although your presentation certainly goes into more detail. Thanks, and keep going, and I think you’ll get there someday if you keep up the quality reviews.

Great deal.

Q feo

Rather than going with a DAC couldn’t your just plug directly into your TV via the headphone/aux jack on the TV? What extra advantage does the DAC offer? Also, by plugging right into the TV headphone/aux jack you can control the volume through the TV remote.

No no no bye new. Dig .etc yeah it will drive a turntable but .......

I have to agree with you in this issue. The apple dongle is a great measuring dac. And honestly unless your listening to tital lossless service or flax files your not gonna miss anything using this dac. For the average listener just looking for good sound not necessarily audiophile sound. You cant go wrong with this dac. It’s pretty loud and sounds really clear on my iPhone X. I think I would rather spend the money on a better set of heaphones than buy a dac that’s really not gonna make that much of a difference in sound. Theoretically the dac should be the last item you upgrade. Because a $200 dac on a $25 pair of headphones is still gonna sound like a $25 pair of headphones. But a $200 pair of headphones are gonna sound great no matter what dac your using. Of course I have to power by large headphones with a separate amp I just use my receivers headphone output for a little extra punch

I just purchased my 820 about 6 months ago I love it she bangs for only 55 watts.. I need to find a headphone jack cover though, that looks slick.

Can you comment on the cable regarding mobility. I herd on another u tube video that the fh3 cable was slightly microphonic. Could you do a video on the cca ca 16’s! I loved the sound demo but hate the cable it uses!

There should be a lot more videos like this on YT. I tried a few external DACs, but I always came back to the apple. The price / quality ratio is unbeatable. Unfortunately, the market does everything to make us think that something costs more, the better it is. If Apple's dongle cost $ 200, everyone would buy it

Nice work on a great piece. Love the vintage Yammy's

I have this receiver and purchased in new in 1979. It was and is a great receiver. This video will be added to my collection. Thanks again for the review.

I love it!!!

I really hope you gravitate toward doing videos of vintage audio equipment, since you did such a great job with this beauty of a receiver. It's great to see a young person appreciate what Yamaha was doing back then. I'm on the fence on buying a Yamaha CR-820 right now, and you're not helping much in talking me out of it!

Would you like a shout out

Hey you deserved more subs

How about showing me how to install the new binding post on the rear?

Rick, great review.

Hey Rick. New subber. Also a big fan of AudioScienceReview as I believe the audio industry is full of car salesman looking to tale advantage because so many people don't understand audio. I almost bought a dongle but found my old Galaxy S9 has a great DAC built in and powers my KPH30i very well. Come to find many old phones that still have headphone jacks like many the LG Q7,v30, v40, S8, S9 etc are actually better than many mobile gear like the ear studio and component gear. Many people dont realkze they're carrying a great DAC streamer in their pocket.

Sweet IEMs I love fiio.

I have been here for wile and I want these cause I also have a RUclips channel and it would be great for all my gaming that I edit myself :)

Love to see the yamaha

Done ✅ i will share to my friends 😊

When result date
