🔊 Yamaha A-S201 Integrated Stereo Amplifier in Black: Powerful Sound in a Sleek Design Review

This entry-level model reproduces rich, high-quality sound based on the "Natural Sound" concept. Placing a power transformer near the power amplifier circuit reduces power loss while increasing the peak power of the power supply in order to maintain a high volume level. The Pure Direct switch conducts the audio signal bypassing the control circuits for bass, treble and balance. This improves sound quality while maintaining full output power. Shortening the signal path improves sound clarity, helping to reproduce even the most delicate musical nuances. High sound quality and exquisite design based on Yamaha''s rich experience in high-end models. Hi-Fi amplifier with excellent sound. Yamaha''s high sound quality is backed by years of experience, tradition and high technology Pure Direct mode for pure sound Sophisticated sleek design Turntable input with MM and phono cartridges Screw-in speaker terminals Speaker options: A, B, A+B Simple remote control (RC) jack for HeadphonesHigh-quality sound Yamaha, backed by rich experience, tradition and high technology With its 125-year history as a manufacturer of musical instruments, Yamaha also enjoys a well-deserved reputation as a manufacturer of hi-fi components. This wealth of experience, combined with the latest technology, led to the creation of the A-S201 receiver. Based on the "Natural Sound" concept, which implies the most natural sound and careful study of everything from electronic circuits to sound reproduction, this model provides a very musical, rich sound, although it belongs to the entry-level category. The A-S201, with 100W (8 ohms, 40Hz - 20kHz, 0.2% THD) × 2 high drive power that''s above its class , has a high sound quality design that minimizes the length of signal routes and optimizes the circuit layout. Positioning the power transformer near the power amp circuit reduces power loss while improving peak power supply capacity to enable high volume output. The signal ground and power supply ground are connected at one point, eliminating mutual interference to achieve a higher S/N ratio. The result is sound filled with clarity and a feeling of openness. Pure Direct mode for pure sound With the Pure Direct mode turned on, the sound signal bypasses the tone control circuits (bass and treble), balance and buffer amplifier. This improves sound quality while maintaining output power. When the sound becomes clearer, the finest musical nuances become clearer.
