Hello
This is my first post so please be gentle with me.
My stereo receiver Yamaha CR-840, Natural Sound, is slowly fading on
me. I have taken it to an authorized dealer who repaired it, however
it still shorts out on me. My question is what stereo receiver in
todays market would give me the same sound and quality? My entire
stereo system is Yamaha, and I am open to other suggestions on other
high end receivers.
Thanks!

Yamaha still makes fine receivers -- and you might find the
feature set on a modern one rather amazing.

Aint that the truth. But I would stay away from yamaha, mine failed after 3
and a half years and I,ve heard of probs with others
Nad, marantz, and if you have the buicks, B&K, a really qoaulity but pricy
receiver.
If you want a quality product STAY AWAY FROM
Sony, pioneer, technics, panasonic(which make technics too) kenwood, jvc
These guys have been in the habit of making some really bad mass market crap
lately:-(

If you've found better long-term reliability with NAD than with some
of the Japanese mass-market brands, then your experience is very
different from mine. Of course, any individual consumer's track record
is just about meaningless. As for what you've "heard of," I've heard
of a lot of complaints about particular brands from people with no
first-hand experience with them.
