Review on Integrated stereo amplifier YAMAHA A-S301, black by Micha Kobiaka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

An ancient music center breaking down was the catalyst for everything. I've wanted to have anything close to HI-FI for a while, but excellent equipment is expensive. 2 * 60 W, 6 ohms, connected to the ancient three-band from the music center. using optics, to a computer. I noticed many new musical elements right away, especially in the FLAC format. There was purity, transparency, and detail. A week later I started to like the sound, it is exactly what it should be in terms of frequency response. I adjusted myself to the loudness compensation knob, a great thing when listening to low volume, arranged the speakers as expected and everything started to play, it turns out that this greatly affects the sound. However, I immediately noticed that the bass at a low volume somehow became not enough. Apparently they were pulled up in the music center. For me personally, the power is more than sufficient for a 20-meter room, and for 12 hours, the volume knobs are amazing, the neighbors are thrilled, and the speaker diffusers go crazy. It would be a shame to add more (both neighbors and diffusers). The headphones are also excellent; they can drive headphones up to 470 Ohm, which is a respectable sign given that not all phones can drive headphones as low as 32 Ohm. Many people claim that the transformer is buzzing and heating up, but they never actually said anything of the sort. The case is, of course, heated, but only slightly. Overall, I'm happy, but I still need to purchase some serious acoustics (more like floor speakers), even though everything works right now and bringing something more powerful into a 20-meter space would be pointless. The only benefit of outside speakers is that the bass will be deeper and more substantial when used at more than half the volume. After three years, I made the decision to include. Although there is nothing particularly noteworthy to add, the amplifier serves faithfully, functions almost daily, and continues to please. I have absolutely no regrets about the purchase. May 2022 examined the item's 60,000 price tag. has tripled in price, suggesting that he will be staying with me for a while))))

Pros
  • Sound quality versus cost Ability to connect two pairs of acoustics, or one by Bi wiring, with smooth loudness compensation adjustment for digital input power
Cons
  • He is enormous. According to the evaluations, there was a smell around the transformer at first, but it is now less noticeable. Dazzling sound is what I hear (decided by loudness compensation and tone block)
