Yamaha C-4 and Wells Audio Majestic help

Feed the Majestic ( or any other integrated amp or preamp ) from the Yamaha’s tape rec out ( I would use tape 1 ), and make sure to switch the Yamaha’s front panel rec out to phono. This bypasses all tone controls, the volume and balance controls, and another gain stage or two. You will no longer use any front panel controls on the C4. This set up would be, as if you were feeding your Yamaha’s phono section, into a tape deck. It should work fine. How will it sound ?.....listen....and judge for yourself. You can always upgrade to a separate phono stage later ( this hobby is never ending ), but, for the meantime, it should sound fine. I believe in good cables. I hope this helps. Enjoy ! MrD.

I completely recapped a C-4, the phono section of it is no slouch.  Not the best but nothing to throw out of your audio bed.

It should be, sound quality wise... behave and be heard as if it is an adjustable outboard phono stage. Meaning, less any effect of the cables, the full qualities of the phono section should and will come through.
I keep one around as a test device among many others. Mine is recapped with nichicon muse caps all throughout, non magnetic film caps, and non magnetic resistors in most of the phono circuitry. I lavished the labor upon it as it is an old friend (from about 1990 or so).

+1 mrdecibel! Tape out on the C4 will work fine!
