C-5000 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.
C-5000 Floating and Balanced Pre-amplifier
• 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 pre-amplifier 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 minimised when other components are connected

Dual Toroidal Transformers
• Adopting independent dual toroidal transformers for the left and right channels delivers optimal separation and therefore producing 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 minimising the influence of flux in the phono circuit.
• This realises a gentle, calm and even spacious sound due to enhanced reproduction of detailed signals

C-5000 Low-impedance Design
• By copper-plating the chassis to minimise 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 utilised to reduce the impedance of the power supply and maximises the transmission of musical information.

C-5000 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.

C-5000 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.
