For the ultimate in sound

In pursuit of the intangible musical quality that breathes life into high-fidelity audio, the world's largest sound company presents the C-5000 preamplifier. From the concert stage to the home, Yamaha has drawn on its vast musical history to create an instrument capable of faithfully reproducing every nuance and emotion in the performance.

  • Perfectly balanced signal transmission
  • Floating balanced preamp
  • Symmetrical, folding-book circuit design
  • Low-impedance design
  • Rigid and precise design
  • Dual Toroidal Transformer

Perfectly Balanced

Together with the GT-5000 turntable and M-5000 power amplifier, Yamaha delivers an end-to-end balanced signal chain across its flagship models for premier performance.

Floating and Balanced Preamplifier

The C-5000 features fully balanced and discrete circuit transmission across all stages of the signal path at Tone Defeat.

The patented floating design is adopted across the phono EQ, input amp and line amp stages removing the influence of ground noise from the signal.

Symmetrical, Folding-Book Circuit Design

The folding-book design for the preamplifier PCB mirrors the left and right signal paths for precise matching and layout.

With each channel physically identical, the C-5000 is capable of the most accurate reproduction of audio, which is both wide and deep.

Further, the ground loop is minimized when other components are connected.

Dual Toroidal Transformers

Adopting independent, dual toroidal transformers for the left and right channels delivers optimal separation and therefore produces a sound stage which is faithful to the original source.

Low magnetic leakage lowers adverse impact on the audio signal. Following detailed research based on trial listening, the power transformer was enclosed in a copper-plated case to suppress magnetic flux and vibration. This also assists in minimizing the influence of flux in the phono circuit.

This realizes an even and spacious sound due to enhanced reproduction of detailed signals.

Low-Impedance Design

By copper-plating the chassis to minimize the influence of voltage on the circuit, the C-5000 is capable of expressing the subtlest nuances as well as powerful bass.

Additionally, thick screw-type wires are utilized to reduce the impedance of the power supply and maximize the transmission of musical information.

Original Design

The C-5000 was designed from the ground up to deliver the ultimate in listening experiences down to its aesthetic and even its touch.

The knobs and lever switches feature original designs to communicate both innovation and craftsmanship.

The volume knob is both rigid and precise employing ball-bearings and precision-cut aluminium to achieve its touch while the lever switches have also been refined for enhanced operation.

Custom-Designed Feet

Every aspect of the C-5000 was carefully considered when designing this flagship model. Its construction exudes master craftsmanship and reflects an obsession with achieving the highest levels of performance.

The feet are no exception. Like the M-5000, the custom heavy-duty brass feet function either as fully supported spikes or with a scratch guard base for use on delicate surfaces.

Showed up literally the next day, and would have never known that it was an open box. This is the 2nd time I have purchased a large ticket item from them and the 2nd time they have absolutely impressed.

Fantastic!! They sound great!!

Well built and generally sound design. Two flaws (one apparent and one potential); transport appears clunky and flimsy and although it shows in its photos having power meters, there are no obvious ways to access that feature as there is no manual and the online manual doesn’t discuss it. Lastly, I seem to keep having drop outs with Apple Music streaming. Not sure if it is the Apple App, the wifi or BT reception.

Significant step up from the 2M Blue. Very happy with this purchase.

Actually heavier than it looks, which suggests some real components inside. Setup was super easy. The sound through my Rotel RC10670 and RB1070 feeding B&W 805 S speakers and HSU subwoofer is great. Dead silent when there’s no music. VeryAccurate sound.

Very impressive and easy to use. Great for streaming music!

The cables are settling in and sounding great.
By chance do you have a Martin Logan Stage X inventory or know where I can get one?

sounds great - color isn't excactly what I saw online

Easy to use; quiet operation; music quality very good for the price.

the cable is what it states it is big and heavy and flows a lot of power needed

Great streaning amp. I love that it looks like my old Yamaha CA-810 amp. However, all of the new tech and connections make the R-N2000A a more than worthy successor.

Great entry level audiophile turntable!

The Eversolo A-8 is a beautiful and very functional DAC Streamers. Aaron service was on point. All thumbs up for Safe and Sound

These are amazing speakers. I did a lot of reading reviews about these before I purchased them. And just like almost all the reviewers said, they sound incredible! The sound does bounce off the walls and immerses you with sound. Even played at low volume, The sound is just pure and realistic. I would highly recommend these to anyone who loves all kinds of music !

The speakers arrived in great condition and the sound really fills my space well. Thank you!

I was genuinely surprised by how much of an impact the Esprit Aura had coming from the Esprit Celesta. The soundstage is dramatically larger and fine details are significantly improved versus the Celesta. The bass was also significantly improved too, bringing deeper extensions on the bottom end just like the better details on the high end. The difference is so significant that’s it’s hard to give a single example because it affected everything so dramatically. As an example though, symbols taper off slower, as it preserves the softer part of the roll off that wasn’t being preserved via the Esprit Celesta cable.
My system consists of a Hifi Rose RS152 going to the RA280 integrated. Speakers are the Audel Magika Plus. Going from the streamer to the amp was a Celesta XLR interconnect.

Excellent upgrade from the 2M Red.

By far the best listening experience of any speakers I’ve owned.

I like the unit, but I have a metal roof of my house. What kind of antenna do I need? I’m having a hard time getting channels.

Great they showed up in beautiful condition, they sound great i really have been enjoying them!

Great product and flawless transaction: no muss, no fuss; arrived on time, all in good condition. What's not to like!
