Integrated Amp to Pair with a pair of Fyne Audio Vintage Classic VIII Speakers

[DanielT]

Would something like this be a reasonable buy?

Pardon our interruption...

I have contacted the buyer and it has had service with a very detailed breakdown of work done so from that perspective looks ok.
I am tempted just to buy new but it's so hard finding something aesthetically pleasing! I know its superficial

@mhardy6647 should be able to help you with that. He collects and knows Yamaha, as you can see here ( screenshot because I couldn't download his flickr picture):

both of these look great. Very much on my potential buy list. Thanks @DanielT much appreciated

A classic ,it should keep its value if you keep it up. You will need a transformer for UK voltage to use it. The CA-1000

Glad you noted that. As the seller in the ad says:
As it is a 100v amp it will require a step-down transformer to operate, and I'd recommend Airlink for any buyer in the UK or EU that requires one.

Yamaha CA-1000 Integrated Amplifier 100v Japanese market version. Plenty of power from both class B or pure class A to drive just about any set of speakers you may have.
