For ultimate sound - Made in Japan
The world's leading audio company introduces its C-5000 preamplifier, which achieves the highest level of musical quality and brings Hi-Fi sound to life. Whether it's for the concert stage or home music setup, Yamaha has drawn on its vast musical experience to create an instrument that can faithfully reproduce every nuance and emotion of a performance.
Perfectly balanced
Together with the GT-5000 turntable and M-5000 power amplifier, Yamaha offers a balanced signal chain from start to finish across all of its flagship models to ensure premium performance.
Floating and balanced preamplifier
The C-5000 preamp features fully balanced and discrete circuitry at all stages of the Tone Defeat signal path.
A patented floating design is used in the phono EQ input gain and line gain stages - to eliminate ground noise from the signal.
Symmetrical, foldable circuit board design
The folding design of the preamplifier circuit boards mirrors the left and right signal paths for precise matching and placement.
Each channel is physically identical, so the C-5000 is able to provide the most accurate sound reproduction that is both wide and deep.
Additionally, the ground loop is minimized when the other parts are connected.
Toroidal twin transformers
The use of independent dual toroidal transformers in the left and right channels achieves optimal separation, resulting in a soundscape that is faithful to the original sound source.
Low magnetic leakage reduces adverse effects on the audio signal. As a result of careful research based on test listening, the power transformer is enclosed in a copper case to prevent magnetic leakage and vibration. This also helps to minimize the effect of leakage on the phono circuit.
The result is a gentle, calm and spacious sound, which is the result of improved reproduction of detailed signals.
Low impedance design
The copper plates in the chassis minimize the effect of voltage on the circuit, so the C-5000 is able to reproduce both the most subtle sound nuances and powerful bass sounds.
Additionally, thick screw-type cables are used to reduce the impedance of the power supply and maximize the transfer of music-related information.
Original design
The C-5000 is designed from the ground up to deliver a top-notch listening experience – both aesthetically and emotionally.
The knobs and levers utilize original design, which exudes both innovation and craftsmanship.
The volume knob is solidly made and precise – ball bearings and precision-cut aluminum create a pleasant sound, and the toggle switches are also finished for top-level usability.
Custom-made legs
Every detail of the flagship C-5000 model has been carefully considered during the design process, and its construction exudes masterful craftsmanship and passion for achieving the best possible performance.
The device's feet are no exception. Like the M-5000 model, the specially manufactured, sturdy brass feet are either fully supported with spikes or with a scratch protection for delicate surfaces.
