I purchased my first Yamaha receiver in 1979, a CR-640 model. I spent the next 30 years with the best sound quality i have ever heard! It was still preforming like new except for a little static in the volume knob, until I lost my mind and hooked my new TV to it and forgot to turn the power off. OH NO! After checking on repairs, i discovered it would be far cheaper to buy new. UPGRADE, they call it. I had doubts that anything on the market today could compare with the quality of my old 640, and I was right. Although i can't say i regret the purchase, it just doesn't come close to the sound quality and richness of tone that my old model had. It is a excellent receiver at a good price, and anyone who had never heard a 1979 model 640 would be very pleased with the new model. Needless to say my old model will be going in for repairs, who knows it my last another 30 years! That says alot for Yamaha, I think. The old 640 would have probally lasted a life time, if not for my error! This new model is very simalier in design, and very easy to operate. It just goes to show they don't make quality like they use to. But never the less, I will always own a Yamaha!!Get more detail about Yamaha RX-397 100 Watt Natural Sound AM/FM Stereo Receiver.
