Yamaha A-S501 Zwart

Bought to replace my old Yamaha AX396 that finally bit the dust after 27 years of faithful service. I thought my old amp was good, but the AS501 takes it to a new level. The sound is excellent, I use it in pure direct mode and I'm now hearing things in tracks I'd never heard before. It's excellent. I play mainly vinyl and CD's, but I have also plugged in my old Bluetooth adaptor and that also sounds great. If you're like me, and have done your research and thinking of getting one - do it, you won't be disappointed. My application is a Rega P1 turntable with the new carbon pro stylus, Sony 300 cd changer, pioneer CD player, Esinkin Bluetooth receiver and Wharfedale Denton 80th speakers.

I popped into Richer Sounds, Cardiff looking for an amplifier and the team there were brilliant, really helpful in running me through the best options to complement my home system. I ended up going with the excellent Yamaha AS501. It's a fantastic amplifier with really nice midrange clarity and has excellent power so can drive even more difficult speakers. It does a great job driving my Mission 702e speakers and Klipsch R100 sub, it really has brought out the best from my system them. I've never heard it sounding so good. I must thank the team in Cardiff for the time they spent with me running me through the best options.

The sound difference with the turntable is much better. Visions salesperson was excellent.

Its a Yamaha Amplifier with well rounded sound with great options for rear panel connections. Well Reviewed. Just right for my Stereo needs.

great little unit, simple, clean sounding, I like it.
