First off, I don't know if I am allowed to ask non Lansing tech questions, if so, I apologize in advance.
I was wondering if any one has any experience with Yamaha C-4 preamp?

That's a fine question and you posed it in the right area... I have used other Yamaha electronics, but can't help you here... I don't know anything about the C-4.
Are you considering the purchase of one?

If you like Yamaha, you might compare to C-85 while you're looking... -grumpy
I have a C-65 and I'm happy with it after 20 years. The old Yamaha was well made and had thoughtful designs. I like the variable loudness control and dual phono inputs.
Excellent bang for the buck - can't go wrong with an old Yamaha pre. The C-4 has a ton of connectivity options going way beyond most pre's (3 switchable turtable inputs with front-panel cartridge loading adjustment for example, and that's just the beginning).
The "less is more" pre crowd would probably shun it, but it will likely not be the weak link in any system until you spend serious cash on everything else.
But don't take my word for it - buy the one on the bay now and tell us how you like it . You can always sell it later and try something else....

The C4 was fairly good in it's time, but today you can get a lot better stuff.
