Still sounds as good as it did when it was new. I have it hooked up to a a pair of EV ELIMINATOR speakers and it will shake the house. Very loud and very clear sound.
As a long time Yamaha vintage and modern audio fan, specifically the Yamaha CR-2040, this is a great receiver! You even have the Yamaha Orthodynamic rectangle cover on the headphone jacks. You have a high quality piece that gives out a great sound and it’s quite a looker too. Just keep up the maintenance on it and it will last you for many years to come.
Oh by the way, here’s an example of what your receiver is going for nowadays on Ebay restored:

Wow I had never checked the price of them as I will never part with it.
That is beautiful! I’m listening to my CR-800 right now and love the way it sounds. Not sure what I would do with all that extra power!
