3. 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.

5. 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.
Pro
- Good sound!
- Sufficient connections
Contra
- Housing quite large
- Rotary knobs too light
