At this level, even the slightest refinement is an achievement.

We'd like to introduce you to our new line of separates .They build on the renowned reputation of the previous line by incorporating refinements which, though small, are by no means insignificant.

The new M-85 power amplifier, for instance, offers greater dynamic power for increased headroom as well as more continuous power output! And newly designed circuitry allows it to safely drive loads as low as 2 ohms.

But it also offers something which can't be measured in specs. And that is a more natural, open, transparent sound, using musical signals, not electrical ones, as the means of measurement. Modifications in the voltage amplifier circuitry, as well as Yamaha's unique Extended Rolloff Equalizer, help contribute to this re fined musicality.

The M-85 continues to employ Yamaha's Auto Class A Power and Zero Distortion Rule circuitry for the most musical, distortion-free reproduction possible.

As does the new C-85 control preamplifier. But we've added an Extended Rolloff Equalizer, DC servo YAMAHA® circuitry and current noise suppression to the C-85.This improves the signal-to-noise ratio and allows for a purer sound with a wider variety of phono cartridges. And the new easy-to-see LEDs clearly indicate which of the C-85's inputs you've selected.

Our new T-85 tuner uses two separate reception modes and four IF modes, all automatically selected for optimum signal quality. And with its five-digit tuning, the T-85 adds that extra measure of fine-tuning capability lacking in all other synthesized tuners.

These are just a few examples of the refinements we've made to our top-line separates. The rest of the new separates component series also offers refinements over their predecessors. Which, when you consider how good they are, is quite an achievement.
