Yamaha A-S201

Advantages: Long chose, settled on this model. Arranged for the price and expected characteristics, took for a turntable. I bought and connected Yamaha ns 6490 speakers, Technics turntable. The sound turned out to be of exceptional purity and richness. The built-in phono stage is beyond praise.

Disadvantages: I haven't found it yet.

Comment: I think at the moment this device has an optimal price-quality ratio. For those looking for an inexpensive vinyl amplifier, I definitely recommend it. And yet, any gadget that has a headphone output (minijack) is connected through the line-in. This is how I connected an Apple tablet. I would be glad if my comment helps someone. Good luck

Advantages: 1 Apparatus of a manufacturer that has been engaged in sound development for over 120 years 2 Price for apparatus with similar characteristics 3 No digital input, because if you have one, your built-in DAC will become obsolete in 3 years.

Disadvantages: Not found.

Comment: I use Yamaha 6490 acoustics System sound through the Asus Sonar DX card The kit for good sound quality for today is an amplifier, speakers and a sound card (end of June 2018) came out at 27 tr I recommend to potential buyers to go to the Yamaha website in the electronics section and see range. Very happy with the purchase.

Advantages: Nice clean sound, my S90 came to life (more in the comments) took about 7-8k from the officials.

Disadvantages: Heats up like a stove (again comments) frail cooling radiator

Comment: Us is good no doubt. For me, as the owner of 4x RADIOTEHNIKA S90, it is a shame that there are no decent amplifiers for 4 Ohm acoustics. I have two USs, this one and the pioneer A-10. Yamaha at the front is a pioneer (since it is less powerful) at the rear. Since the Yamaha is not designed for a load of less than 8 Ohm, it will heat up at high volume. Check the resistance of the acoustics, who has it like a stove. Since there are no plans to change the speakers yet, I will install fans, since there is enough space inside, perhaps I will change this galiman radiator. Actually for the money that I took it, it works with dignity. And yes, if someone installs active cooling or changes the radiator, the temperature sensor on the radiator should be at a less cooled point.

Advantages: Great sound and design, everything you need is there and nothing more. Pleased with the input for the vinyl player, the remote control. Never overheated even at maximum volume. I was looking for a model just for stereo speakers ..

Disadvantages: I don’t know what to even find fault with :) Well, if only the range of tone control at high is done more.

Comment: An excellent and inexpensive model, I recommend to all stereo lovers!

Advantages: good price, good performance for the money.

Disadvantages: lack of optical and coaxial output, with a new TV - turned out to be a problem.

Comment: the result is certainly not bad, there is a phono stage, the price is the most acceptable on the market from something more or less decent. But I regret that I saved 5 thousand and did not buy the 301 model, everything is already there and if there is a desire to improve the speaker system, then that 201 will have to be changed ...

Advantages: Inexpensive 2 speaker outputs Does not heat up and does not buzz. The gun works in all directions))

Disadvantages: Inconvenient cable clamps, for me, at least.

Comment: I am a beginner haifaist, so do not judge strictly. About a year ago I decided to change the acoustics (sven ha-1410t), having worn out with his sub, and then a friend gave up his half-dead VEGA 10u-120s, and turned his gaze to the world of Hi-Fi. The budget was limited, and it was unusual to lay out such sums for music .. The first speakers were bought by Wharfdale 8.1, they played rather lucidly, after Sven it was wildly unusual, attributed it to Vega's "fatigue". And after long negotiations with the toad, consultations on forums and reading reviews, digging in the secondary market, this amplifier was bought as an inexpensive, not old, well-known manufacturer. The warfs played more interesting, but still something was wrong. Then the floorboards of the then unknown company were bought, namely Mission M74i. And then everything started to play and sang, as I wanted. For the first time in my life I turned off the equalizer, I listen to music in Pure Direct, the player Foobar 2000, ASIO, Creative Titanium HD. At first, there was not enough loudness compensation at a low volume, but now I either got used to it, or the speakers played out, but sometimes there is even a lot of bass. There is not much to compare with, but I like everything and completely satisfied. Sometimes there is a desire to change the amplifier to a Denon of some kind, 520 or 720, but this is rather due to curiosity and the desire for something new. My verdict is a great model for the money.

Advantages: nothing to find fault with not expensive looks not bad, and plays too

Disadvantages: perhaps the lack of options for connecting optics and output for the sub

Comment: my first-born, coped with its function perfectly well during use, no cataclysms were detected, played first with ns-333 (via sub) then replaced it with 555 - fire

Advantages: I took it for vinyl, it came up perfectly. The clear sound function is again ideal for vinyl, especially classical and any instrumental music.

Disadvantages: You have to constantly cover it from dust, and then I think over time you will have to somehow clean it. Marketers are cunning, the remote control is designed for 2 more devices of the same company

Comment: I bought it in the spring of 2016 for less than 13,000 with delivery, I was lucky) I did not notice a single minus.

Advantages: Great amplifier, simple laconic design, nothing more. The sound quality is excellent, despite the low cost. There are no analogues at the moment.

Disadvantages: did not reveal

Comment: I connected a pair of Yamaha ns 777 to it, via bi-amping, and I am very pleased with the sound quality, I recommend it to everyone.

I dream of replacing my Vega 10u-120s with this pit, can anyone help, and if serious, for those who write about the lack of digital inputs, we remind you that the Yamaha A-S201 is a simple and without unnecessary bells and whistles analog integral (on transistors, without microcircuits) stereo amplifier. Therefore, for little money, it gives a sound that is decent in power and frequencies. (by the way, any TV has an analog sound output and not one)
