Yamaha A-S201

Advantages: Good price, good features for the money.

Disadvantages: the 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 of 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: A pleasant clear sound, my S90 came to life (in details in comments) took about 7-8k from the officers.

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

Comment: US is good no doubt. For me, as the owner of the 4x RADIOTEHNIKA S90, it's a pity that there are no decent amps for 4 ohm acoustics. I have two usa, this pioneer and A-10. Yamaha at the front of the pioneer (as less powerful) to the rear. Since the Yamaha is not designed for our load less than 8 Ohm, it will warm up at high volume. Check the resistance of acoustics, from whom it is like a stove. Since the speakers are not changed yet in the plans, I will install the fans, the benefit of the space inside is enough, maybe I will change this galymenky radiator. Actually for the money that I took it, it works with dignity.
And yes, if someone will put active cooling or change the radiator, the temperature sensor on the radiator should be in a less cooled point.

Advantages: Inexpensive
2 speaker outputs
Not heated and not buzzing.
Pultik works in all directions))

Disadvantages: Inconvenient cable clips, 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 10y-120s, and turned his attention to the world of Hi-Fi. The budget was limited, and it was unusual for music to lay out such sums .. The first speakers were bought by Wharfdale 8.1, they played ludishly, after Sven it was wildly unusual, took it to Vega's "fatigue". And after long negotiations with the toad, consultations on the forums and reading reviews, digging in the secondary market, this amplifier was bought as an inexpensive, not old, well-known manufacturer. Warfs played more interesting, but still something is not right. Then the companies that were unknown to me were bought, namely Mission M74i.And then everything began 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, player Foobar 2000, ASIO, Creative Titanium HD. At first, there was not enough thin compensation at a low volume, but now either I am used to it, or the speakers are played out, but there are even a lot of bass sometimes. Especially there is nothing to compare with, but I like everything and are completely satisfied. Sometimes there is a desire to change the amplifier to Denon any, 520 or 720, but this is more likely because of curiosity and the desire for something new. My verdict is a great model for that kind of money.

Advantages: For vinyl took, went perfectly.
The clear sound function is again ideal for vinyl, especially classics and any instrumental music.

Disadvantages: It is necessary to constantly cover from dust, and then I think over time I will have to clean it up.
Marketers are tricky, the console is designed for another 2 devices of the same company

Comment: I bought in spring 2016 for less than 13,000 with delivery, lucky) I did not notice one minus.

Comment: My dream is to replace my Vega 10y-120s with this hole, can anyone help, and if seriously, those who write in flaws about the lack of digital inputs, we remind you that the Yamaha A-S201 is simple and without any frills analog integrated (on transistors, without chips) stereo amplifier. Therefore, for little money, it gives a decent sound in terms of power and frequency. (on any TV, by the way, there is an analog audio output and not one)

Advantages: Great sound and design, everything you need is there and nothing extra. Pleased entry for turntable vinyl, remote control. I never overheated even at maximum volume. I was looking for a model just for stereo speakers ..

Disadvantages: I do not know what even to find fault :) Well, if only the range of tone adjustment on the highs is more to do.

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

Advantages: Long chose, stopped at this model. Arranged at the price and expected characteristics, took for the player of vinyl disks. Bought, connected speakers Yamaha ns 6490, player Technics. The sound turned out to be exceptional purity and saturation. The built-in phono stage is beyond praise.

Disadvantages: Not yet found.

Comment: I think at the moment, this device has an optimal price-performance ratio. Those who are looking for an inexpensive amplifier for vinyl-definitely recommend.
And yet, through the line input connects any gadget having a headphone output (minijack). I connected the Apple tablet in this way. I would be glad if someone will help my comments. Good luck

Disadvantages: Toslink (Digital Optical Audio) input is missing

Comment: Toslink (Digital Optical Audio) input is missing
There were problems with the sound output from the TV to the amplifier.
I had to buy an audio converter

Advantages: Excellent amplifier, simple concise design, nothing superfluous. The sound quality is excellent, despite the low cost. There are no analogs at the moment.

Disadvantages: did not reveal

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