Review on Yamaha A-S301BL Integrated Stereo Amplifier - Enhanced Natural Sound | Black by Li Mei ᠌

The first Yamaha, I chose for a long time, studied a lot of information, re-read a bunch of reviews and Yamaha won :) Someone writes that it hums and smells - a stabilizer will help you as an option, at high volume it smells imperceptibly (only if you sniff over the amplifier) ​​and it's nice - with a new amplifier :) who knows, he will understand, there are no noises at idle, the only thing is somehow sharply increasing the volume, the regulator step could be made smaller. The sound is divine as for me, this is my second modern amplifier, except for the Soviet devices that were once upon a time. Powerful and delicate where needed. The sound is natural as it is, if the record is rubbish, then it will show all this. All genres are subject to him, I even began to listen to Bach because he ceased to oppress as it once seemed monotonous, this was a discovery. In addition, when listening to other records, I found a lot of sounds on them that I had not heard before! This is a miracle, I want to listen and listen again. Of course, he creates pressure hoo, with sensitive acoustics, very loudly, and the regulator does not even reach the middle. No porridge! Even on very complex works, he clearly works out each instrument. Everything is tight and collected. If there is bass on the recording, it will be played without any subwoofers, if there is none - sorry :) It works in Direct mode all the time, there is no desire to turn the controls - there is only a desire to have an even more perfect amplifier. Pioneer PD-50 source, Oehlbach NF 1 Master interconnect, Cambridge Audio Aero 2 speakers, QED Classic 79 speaker cables, Sven AVS2022D stabilized power supply. With a slight refinement of the power system and the replacement of stock capacitors, amplifiers will outperform three times as expensive. Good start!
