What's the difference between this one and the Yamaha YRS-24B (besides color)? The price for this is 3x the other, is it worth it?

The YRS 24-B is tuned to 442, so if you want to play it with a standard 440 tuned instrument (i. e. Guitar, Piano) it sounds sharp, and terrible. The tone this produces is better also. I recommend the Aulos personally, it is slightly easier to hit the highest notes, but this is a good sounding recorder, and is in tune with other instruments at 440 MHz. I carry both this and an Aulos in my Music accessory bag. Both have a curved windway as well, which helps the tone and ease of hitting the upper register. Definitely worth it.

Haven't used a Yamaha in a long time. In general I think Mackies are priced higher with fewer features but I won't buy anything else. Mackie makes a great and reliable product, it's hard to go wrong unless you need more features for the dollar.

I love the sound on my Yamaha but I did buy a sustain pedal, otherwise everything sounds staccato. I bought the pedal style, it is heavy so it doesn't move and it resembles a piano pedal. The voices are very good, the organ and string ones especially

That is a great price but you have to compare apples to apples. There are different series that have different components like "glass aramid fiber" compared to "kevlar" for the subwoofer cones. Also, the amps are different and (believe it or not) the higher end speakers are HEAVIER so that they do not transfer sound waves through their bases or surrounding materials. I highly recommend that you also consider http://www.amazon.com/IsoAcoustics-ISO-L8R200-Large/dp/B009NWX2WO/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1378099542&sr=1-2&keywords=isoacoustics Isopacoustic monitor stands. I had "MoPads" and thought that they were good. It is downright amazing how well all of these components work. If you have the room, buy the 8's. I have the attenuators only up "3 detents" for normal use as nearfield monitors. Only if you have a very large studio and want serious thump, go for the 10's. In any amplifier, you always want to have more power than you need to use. The amps are cleaner, run cooler and last longer. Also, invest in good acoustics for your studio as well otherwise you will never get an accurate representation of your music. You may even want to visit one of my webpages at: http://aperfectdj.com/dj-corner. I am a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, engineer, live sound engineer and DJ. (My studio uses the KRK Rokit 8 G2's) BTW: The G2's mean "generation 2." Hope this helps.

No. Tone varies by brand. Sometimes even between models within the same brand. If you got a Yamaha NS setup going already I'd stick with it.

I have had the X4000 for about two months now and I am very happy with it. I have not heard the Yamaha unit so I can not speak for that. I am using Infinity speakers in a 7.1 setup and it sounds awesome and gets very loud when I want it to. I use it mostly for movies.

The best way to find all the differences is to go to Yamaha's site and download the user manual. It is for both models and you will see the features that one has versus the other.

Never played a Yamaha C40 that I recall, but I just bought a 1958 Goya G-10 for $125.00. It's pretty haggard, but it feels and sounds great. Stays in tune well, also.

Nick, I don't know how the KB-15s might be different from the B-20s. I can only vouch for the the B-20s. I bought them on the recommendation of a salesman in an audio department. He said they're were the "brightest" of the lot. I found that to be true. I also saw on the net somewhere that they were top-rated in a comparison test with other big name bookshelf speakers. Guitar notes are crystal clear and they also the pass the "piano test," which means they handle the attack of piano notes without rattling (lots of otherwise good speakers will rattle). Suffice it to say that I liked the first pair I bought so much that, one by one, I bought four other pairs. You probably can't go wrong with the KB-15s either.

It is better, but be sure your getting a 231. There is a. 231s that is silver in color . The faders are stout and smooth, and dbx is great. There is a 31 band eq from bbe that I like a lot as well, same price point as the dbx.

They are a close match quality wise. The Yamaha has a better warranty but fewer service outlets than Honda. The Yamaha has better gas consumption and is less expensive. Both are fairly quiet, especially in low mode with the Honda being quieter. I don't think you go wrong with either.

After reading the other 2 responses, I have to agree with them. The 1240 is just a better turntable. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Same here , I listen to smooth jazz alot. The sound quality is better for HK when compared to a YAMAHA. I own both HK 3490 and a RS700 stereo receiver from yamaha. I got both of them for a good price. But I upgraded to EMOTIVA amp now, which is so much better than these two. HK 3490 is a warm sounding amp. It depends on your liking. Both are good amps.

I don't know anything about the Yamaha. The Marantz is a good player, good sound and smooth functioning.

I can only speak for myself. I found a significant difference between the sound of the pre-amp in my Yamaha receiver and the Bellari. I should also state that a new, better tube and power supply made a good difference as well. It is also dependent upon the cartridge you are using. I have a Blue Point and a Pickering. An audiophile friend states that the Ortofon is a good choice as well.
