A-S801BL Natural Sound Integrated Stereo Amplifier (Black)

I just love it I have used it for two weeks so glad I got it in silver. I’ve got a project tube phono box I use for vinyl and my cheap cd player has never sounded this good. I plug my iPad into the usb and I think it has a cleaner sound than my cd player. It shipped the same day I bought it & it came double boxed. Great price and great seller. Thanks

After many years with surround sound, a move has forced me to simplify to two channels to fit the available space. I chose the Yamaha A-S801 integrated amplifier because it reminds me of the stereo amplifiers I admired in the 1970s, except that it includes optical and coaxial digital inputs and a USB DAC. Yamaha A-S801 provides old school class AB power that sounds smooth, clean, and powerful, and effortlessly drives my speakers to high volume. It is flexible enough to provide all the inputs and outputs I need. It is easy to configure and control. It is not permanently limited to an internal tuner, surround decoders, DSP, center and surround amplifier channels, complex menus and on-screen displays, or streaming device interface and services. I chose an external HD radio tuner. Optical digital input allows connecting my TV for PCM digital audio and my TV provides HDMI switching for Blu-ray player and digital video devices. The internal USB DAC allows me to choose any computer Operating System and streaming services. I connect a turntable and an external Bluetooth receiver. The variable loudness control is useful. A fixed loudness button would be useless. I wish it had tape monitor / signal processor loops and preamplifier outputs. I let my wife pick the color. This will likely be the last amplifier I will ever need.

SOY COLECCIONISTA DE EQUIPOS DE AUDIO Y ESTE AMPLIFICADOR LO PROBÉ EN CASA Y NEGOCIO Y ME CONVENCIÓ TANTO QUE COMPRE DOS PARA MI RESTAURANTE SUPERA A MARCAS MÁS RECONOCIDAS EN SONIDO Y VERSATILIDAD DE CONEXIÓN Y USO CONSTANTE LA VERDAD LO RECOMIENDO CALIDAD DE SONIDO MUY AGRADABLE

Great quality amp that makes almost no hum when there is a pause in the music. I purchased the amp as an upgrade to the one that I was using and I must say that it makes my vinyl sound great as well as my CDs and cassettes. I am yet to try the optical feature and the USB for computer. It also comes with a remote that is really cool as well. All of the tone controlls, bass treble and loudness really enable you to fine tune the signal, I wish that it had a light indicator on the volume control. I must say that to start the amp did sound a bit rigid but after using it for a few days the sound really warmed up. I would recommend this amp to anyone that wants great quality, loves music and wants some of the modern day features like optical input and USB.

I like the improvements made like a light indicator when Amp is on.
