1. Yamaha R-S202dab

Yamaha not only looks back on 125 years of tradition in instrument making but also on many years of experience in the development and manufacturing of excellent HiFi components. In designing the R-S202D, Yamaha has leveraged this extensive expertise. At the core is the "Natural Sound" philosophy, which aims for the most faithful reproduction of music possible. Thanks to the meticulous work of Yamaha engineers, from circuit design to sound generation, the amplifier delivers outstanding sound quality despite being positioned as an entry-level model.

The R-S202D not only leads its class in terms of power with 2x 100 W but also excels in sound quality thanks to its optimized circuits for short signal paths. The transformers, positioned close to the amplifier circuits, minimize power losses while simultaneously increasing the maximum reserves for high-volume playback. Signal processing and power supply are grounded at the same point to avoid interference and achieve a higher signal-to-noise ratio. The result is a transparent and brilliant sound.

DAB and DAB+ are Digital Audio Broadcasting formats that offer a wide selection of radio stations in the best sound quality. Another advantage is the automatic station search. All station information is displayed on the screen. A total of 40 DAB+ stations can be stored.

3. Yamaha A-S701

Excellent sound and outstanding performance. An integrated amplifier with the advantages of digital inputs. Gold-plated connections allow a particularly high-quality connection without signal loss. The A-S701 has gold-plated connectors for speakers and inputs.

The quality of the individual parts and their interaction are decisive for the sound of each component. That is why Yamaha only uses high-quality components that are carefully selected and tested. The A-S701 guarantees excellent signal reproduction even under demanding conditions - the power transformer and blocking capacitors are specially designed, the loudspeaker relays have a direct signal path, plus single-point earthing and extruded aluminium heat exchangers.

The A-S701 has both an optical and a coaxial digital input. The optical input is for the TV sound, the coaxial input is for the sound of the Blu-ray player. The signal remains digital throughout, ensuring pure, dynamic sound from all sources - from sports and other television programmes to movies and concert recordings.

You can connect two separate speaker systems in different rooms and switch between them or operate both simultaneously. Four connectors are available so you can select the right pair of speakers for each source at the touch of a button. 

What our customers think

4. Yamaha A-S301

A stereo amplifier with the advantages of digital inputs. The quality of individual components and their interaction are crucial for the sound of each element. Therefore, Yamaha exclusively uses high-quality parts that are carefully selected and tested. The A-S301 guarantees excellent signal reproduction even under demanding conditions. The power transformer and bypass capacitors are custom-made, and the speaker relays have a direct signal path. Additionally, there is single-point grounding and extruded aluminum heat sinks. When the Pure Direct mode is activated, the signal bypasses the circuits for bass and treble control, balance, and amplifier buffering. This improves sound quality without compromising maximum output power. Shortening the signal path enhances acoustic purity and allows for the reproduction of even the finest musical nuances. The ToP-ART concept (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) ensures excellent sound in conjunction with the ART Base. Only when both the processing and transmission of audio signals are designed to be simple and direct can the influence of noise and distortion be minimized. The Yamaha technology for this amplifier design is called ToP-ART. It features a fully symmetrical structure from input to output, with the left and right channels processed with the shortest possible signal paths. This guarantees outstanding sound with unaltered clarity. The ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base housing bottom and the solid middle rail provide additional stability and dampen vibrations. These design innovations from Yamaha contribute to excellent audio playback with outstanding musicality. 

What our customers think

Pro

  • Very good sound
  • Sufficient connections

Contra

  • Housing quite large
  • Rotary knobs too light

5. Yamaha R-N600A

ESS SABRE ES9010K2M Ultra DAC for outstanding S/N performance. Optical input for TV sound in HiFi quality. Subwoofer output for connecting an external subwoofer. Dedicated phono inputs for enjoying your vinyl collection. 

6. Yamaha A-S501

Impressive sound quality with a variety of features and an elegant appearance. A power amplifier with the advantages of digital inputs.

Yamaha not only has over 125 years of tradition in instrument making but also an excellent reputation for its HiFi components. The development of the A-S501 fully utilized both long-standing experience and technical expertise. Based on the "Natural Sound" concept, music is reproduced as it truly sounds. Moreover, the amplifier has been built with the utmost care, from the signal paths to sound generation - even as an entry-level model, it boasts excellent sound quality and unique musicality.

The quality of individual parts and their interaction are crucial for the sound of each component. Therefore, Yamaha exclusively uses high-quality components that are carefully selected and tested. The A-S501 guarantees excellent signal reproduction even under demanding conditions - the power transformer and bypass capacitors are custom-made, the speaker relays have a direct signal path, and there are single-point grounding and extruded aluminum heat sinks.

The A-S501 features a new analog loudness control located on the front. It utilizes electronic volume control for the highest sound quality, allowing the loudness effect to be adjusted as desired. Separate from the normal volume control, this allows for the balance between highs and lows to be influenced. As a result, the complete tonal range is available, compensating for the natural hearing loss of high and low frequencies at low volume levels.
