Review on Yamaha A-S301BL Integrated Stereo Amplifier - Enhanced Natural Sound | Black by Jongil Baek ᠌

It all started with the breakdown of an old music center. I have long wanted to buy something approaching HI-FI, but the prices for good equipment bite. Connected to the old three-band from the music center 2 * 60 W, 6 ohms. to a computer via optics. I immediately heard a lot of new things in music, there was purity, transparency, detail, especially in the FLAC format. But I immediately noticed that the bass at a low volume somehow became not enough, apparently they were pulled up in the music center, but 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 began to play, it turns out that this greatly affects the sound. Regarding the power for me personally, it is more than enough for a room of 20 meters, for 12 hours the volume knobs are amazing, the neighbors are delighted, the speaker diffusers go crazy: it becomes a pity to add more (both neighbors and diffusers). The headphones are also good, they support headphones up to 470 Ohm and this is not a bad indicator, for comparison, not all phones are able to pump 32 Ohm headphones, so there is a decent margin. Many people write that the transformer is buzzing and heating up, they didn’t reveal anything of the kind, of course, the case is heated, but slightly warm. In general, I am satisfied, it remains to buy some kind of more serious acoustics (floor speakers rather), although even now everything suits there is no point in taking something more powerful into a room of 20 meters. more than half the volume is unlikely to have to use the only argument in favor of outdoor speakers, the bass will be deeper and more voluminous. Three years have passed, I decided to add. Although there is nothing special to add, the amplifier serves faithfully, works almost every day, and continues to please, I do not regret the purchase at all. May 2022 looked at the price tag on it: 60,000. has risen in price three times, it seems he is with me for a long time)))))
