Description
The Yamaha CX-600 is a vintage Japanese-made stereo preamplifier designed to control and shape audio signals before amplification. It’s built for serious hi-fi systems and offers multiple inputs, including phono (for turntables), tuner, CD, tape, and auxiliary sources. The unit provides tone controls (bass/mid/treble), adjustable loudness and a subsonic filter, with a very wide frequency response and extremely low distortion, which contributes to neutral, detailed sound reproduction. The Yamaha MX-600 is a robust power amplifier designed to partner with a control preamp such as the CX-600. It provides substantial clean power — typically around 135 W per channel into 8 Ω — with low distortion and a strong signal-to-noise ratio Used together, the CX-600 preamp and MX-600 power amp make a classic Yamaha hi-fi stereo system: the CX-600 handles source switching and signal shaping with precision, and the MX-600 supplies clean, powerful output to speakers, resulting in a balanced, transparent listening experience that remains appreciated by vintage audio enthusiasts.
