Yamaha's
other statement along the NS-1000M.
Awe-inspiring, unbelievable sound, magnificent design - a true landmark.
Filled with 4 of Yamaha's 1st generation VFET power devices: 2SK77,
enclosed in a bigger-than TO3-box. Unlike the later B-2
or Sony's units,
the B-1 doesn't use complementary pairs of devices, giving a more
complex pre-driver circuit but making it easier to find matching
devices. Also available very briefly at the end of the production
run in silver color.
Complemented
by the optional UC-1 controller which
ads some fairly non-useful features like the ability to switch five
pairs of loudspeakers at a distance or huge VU meters. Never mind
the meters - just plug the amp and enjoy.
