Yamaha CA-2010 Integrated Amplifier (Solid State) Here I have the Holy Grail Yamaha CA-2010 from the 1970s in immaculate condition. This was Yamaha's flagship integrated producing 120W RMS into 8 ohms class A-B or switchable to Pure Class A of 30W. I love the class A of this amp. Just amazing 3D sound. Amp works perfectly without any issues including MM and MC phono. Also comes with original user manual. Pickup only from Keysborough 3173. Cash on pickup only. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Cash on pickup Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By erest 0 Comments AUD $2,200 Date: Octob
This is a buyer’s market for the listing, because A$2,200 sits below the A$2,195 25th percentile? Actually, by your database anchor it lands just above the lower quartile and well under the A$2,542 median, so it reads as a strong buy rather than a fair-price ask. For a clean example, that’s a sensible entry point in a market where better-conditioned pieces can push closer to the middle of the range.
The CA-2010 is well regarded for its musical, authoritative presentation and substantial build, with enough power and refinement to anchor a serious vintage system. In excellent condition, the upside is real: these are the kinds of integrated amps buyers keep for the sound and the tactile experience, not just the badge, so a tidy, complete unit at this price is worth moving on quickly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Yamaha stands as one of the world's most storied audio manufacturers, with roots extending far beyond consumer electronics. Founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha in Hamamatsu, Japan, the company began as a reed organ manufacturer before expanding into pianos and eventually becoming a comprehensive musical instrument maker. This deep heritage in acoustics and materials science would prove foundational to its later audio ventures. The company operated under its original name, Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., until 1987, when it was renamed Yamaha Corporation in honor of its centennial.
Yamaha's entry into high-fidelity audio proved transformative for the industry itself. In 1954, the company released the Yamaha Hi-Fi Player, widely recognized as the world's first audio component to bear the "Hi-Fi" designation in its name. The company subsequently built a comprehensive product portfolio spanning amplifiers—beginning with the acclaimed A-100 in 1960—speakers, turntables, and digital audio equipment. The NS-1000 speakers, introduced in 1974 with beryllium drivers, became iconic reference monitors. Yamaha also pioneered digital audio technology, shipping the world's first CD recorder in 1988.
Today, Yamaha occupies a distinctive position as a mid-to-high-end generalist rather than a niche specialist. The brand commands respect among both casual listeners and serious audiophiles, balancing accessibility with genuine engineering credibility. Its reputation rests on six decades of consistent innovation, proven reliability, and the unique advantage of applying musical instrument expertise to audio reproduction. Vintage Yamaha components remain highly sought by collectors, while current products maintain the brand's tradition of delivering performance and durability across multiple price tiers.
