- Liner Notes
The CR-1020 is part of a new series of Yamaha audio components created for one key purpose: to provide distortion free natural sound in your home under real listening conditions. To realize this goal we had to create a whole new method of measuring performance Noise Distortion Clearance Range. What does it show? NDCR is a range, the whole range of powers for which total harmonic distortion and noise are below a given level. It requires that all pertinent measurements be made under actual listening conditions; through all amplification circuits used in actual listening (i.e., Phono Input to Speaker Out), and at the volume control settings preferred for normal listening levels.
- Packing
- Prepare to be impressed. We have arguably the best packing process around. This piece will ship double-boxed, and fully insulated, taking extra care to ensure there's no pressure against the face. Then the inner box is suspended inside a double-walled outer box using shock-resistant foam corners.
- Shipping
- This piece ships to the contiguous United States for a flat rate of $150, which includes our packaging and our insurance. Of course, we'll ship anywhere in the world, just drop us a line and we'll give you an estimate – even if you're just curious.
