Review on ๐Ÿ”Š Yamaha A-S201 Integrated Stereo Amplifier in Black: Powerful Sound in a Sleek Design by Adrianna Jaroszak (A แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice price, good quality.

The sound is the most crucial component. I was concerned that background noise and pauses might be audible (as some wrote in the reviews). There is no background or noise in my copy. The audio is transparent and crystal clear. Treble and bass timbres can be adjusted by up to 10 dB. I'm not sure whether anyone else has a bass problem, but I do. Although there are few basses, I intend to attach a subwoofer merely because there are two subwoofers that are not in use. I intend to attach the subwoofers to the TDA3116D2's Chinese amplifier first, then the REC output. Naturally, a Chinese amplifier will have the Saba's volume control. Perhaps this isn't the finest choice, but it's the simplest and most economical one for me. A 4 ohm sub and an 8 ohm sub are both used. Front acoustics: two Yamaha NS-6490 speakers plus two Microlab Pro 3 speakers (all acoustics are 8 ohms). I'll merely attach a subwoofer for fun and consider uncommon uses, I reiterate, as per my tastes, there is no need to connect one. Bass is adequate with a margin, even with the tiny NS-6490. Considering its price, the amplifier generally produces good sound. But if it wins somewhat over the Chinese Yamaha A-S201. Actually, I bought an amplifier out of curiosity and with free money that was available. Indeed, and we're sick of small Chinese boxes' silly appearance. Although the square tiny buttons (instead of the customary round potentiometers) are not particularly impressive yet, the Yamaha appears to be sturdy. This delight cost 18,999 at Technopoint. I'm happy with how recent the release isโ€”July 2022. In general, I wanted to bring an antique item but was afraid to bring anything older than 25 to 30 years old. I am aware that many people think highly of them, but coming from the Soviet era, when radio engineering has been in use for 30 years, I am skeptical. Also, there is no motivation to practice prevention or replace some elements. Indeed, and vision at older ages differs from that at younger ages. The amplifier works for me even if I'm not an audiophile. Let the music enthusiasts take off their slippers, then. In conclusion, the Yamaha A-S201 amplifier is perfectly appropriate for the typical listener (not enamored with silver wires and audiophiles). Find your sound, and good luck to everyone.

Pros
  • packing that is good in a cardboard box (although I think all well-known brands have such packaging). Superb soldering and factory build quality. I believe that the Malaysian assembly is superior to the Chinese one (but I could be mistaken). The case doesn't heat up at all at medium levels (I haven't tried it at high levels).
Cons
  • The model has the least expensive equipment overall. There were no batteries installed for the cords or remote control. The network cable is firmly fastened to the container (could have been made detachable).
