If you want to get in contact of course we're available via all the social media channels. You can like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter or add us on Google+.

 The left and right channels have been organised symmetrically inside too from input to output so this should help to ensure a more precise stereo image. And finally it's made the chassis really rigid to prevent as much resonance as possible so that includes a really tough bass and a solid centre bar. Now the look itself on the front hasn't changed. We've got the same volume and input dials, a pure direct button for getting the purest signal

 We've got optical and coaxial inputs so that means you can hook up something like a TV or a Blu-ray player to this stereo amp. And over here this might look like a regular USB input but actually it's saved just for optional accessories so something like the YBA-11 Bluetooth adapter which will make this a Bluetooth ready stereo amplifier. Down here we've got the subwoofer out which is fairly unusual for a model at this kind of price point. We've got an auto power standby switch so if you have that sector on the unit will turn off automatically after eight hours

We unbox the new A-S501 stereo amplifier from Yamaha, and see what's changed since the A-S500.

Yamaha A-S501 stereo amplifier - unboxing video - YouTube

 But, man alive do I love these things!. The sound is incredibly detailed yet not clinical.

Speakers: Martin Logan Sequel II’s Amp: Yamaha A-S501 Source(s): BlueSound Node 2i, Marantz SACD player, Pioneer PL-930 w/ Ortofon 2M Red. I still don’t quite have the speaker placement dialed in and I think I’m going to end up redecorating that room. But, man alive do I love these things!. The sound is incredibly detailed yet not clinical

After a lot of patience my first pair of big boy speakers pretty well fell out of the sky and I feel like I can finally post my set up here.

The sound is incredibly detailed yet not clinical. Something that did surprise me about these speakers is that they are incredibly picky about what you give them. If a song is poorly produced or recorded you will hear it.

Those look like Innersound/ Sanders Sound System speakers. Innersound was the first to do electrostatic speakers as far as I know. Any ways whatever they are they will sound amazing as most electrostats do.

I’ve finally arrived. Ladies and Gentlemen, my first big boy speakers.

Decent amp with good connectivity. I bought this to compare to my NAD C316BEE, which sells for $379. At 40 watts/channel the 316 created a much fuller sound with more weight and body. The Yamaha was leaner, but not harsh

Decent Amp

 This is a symmetrical topology, not sure what that means, but it does look cool. All I can say is that after listening to this with different speakers, whether it was the Micah RB42s, these Elec debut reference, my Wharfedale Denon 85th anniversary, they all sounded good. I didn't have listening fatigue, it just made me want to turn it up and listen for longer periods of time. So the Yamaha AS501, I love this thing

 I didn't have listening fatigue, it just made me want to turn it up and listen for longer periods of time. So the Yamaha AS501, I love this thing. Thank you Yamaha for sending it out. I'm gonna be testing this out more

 If you're interested in specs, I did do an unboxing video where I read through some of the most important specs, and I'll link to that right there. As far as the looks on this thing, I love the way it looks, it looks old school, anybody who disagrees, you're wrong, I'm just kidding. It just reminds me of my Marantz receiver, it had a silver face, this has a silver face, it's aluminum on the front, I think it looks awesome. The only thing that it's missing, and I'm nitpicking here, is I wish it had VU meters, they do have it on some of their more expensive models

 All of these are wireless and offer active noise cancellation. List of the sweepstakes and the products will be down in the description. So Yamaha sent this out and I've been testing it out for the past few weeks. This is going to be about my personal experience with this amplifier, and there are a few things that I wasn't able to test out

Yamaha A-S501 Review | | | | Simple & Sweet - YouTube

New Setup: Jamo, Yamaha, and Denon

It is okay for my needs right now. It ...

Would this work well as a setup? What else would I need? Are they compatible?

Those things aside, this is a very competent unit with clean sound that is true to the Yamaha name. If you're looking to get into 2-channel stereo (including a real phono input) without some of the challenges that can come with vintage gear, this unit (or one of it's other family members) is a reasonable place to start. No, it isn't high end, but it's very good for the price.

First off, it's a very clean sounding unit with good specifications throughout. I have fairly efficient speakers, so I'm not approaching anywhere near rated power for this unit. Another good thing is that it's actually rated for 4-ohm speakers, which tells me there's a solid power supply and capable final transistors.

Reasonably good sound and value, but missing a few things.

_Reductio ad absurdum_ usually works best. So I’d rather have a pair of Focal Grande Utopia Evo with a $1,000 amp than a pair of $1,000 speakers with a VITUS AUDIO MP-M201.

Get the right speakers for the room, then go from there. If your amp can handle the speakers, then focus on the source and go outward.

$1000 on amp. And $1000-$2000 on speakers. This is the minimum to really get good quality sounds IMO

I started collecting records around 7 years ago and I've always been more concerned about acquiring more and more records rather than gear. However, I've been meeting new colleagues from work that turns out to be audiophiles and man did they mess me up. 

Currently My system consists of a Pro-Ject Debut carbon with a 2M Red Ortofon, a Yamaha A-S501 integrated amp and a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 speakers, and while there's nothing wrong with my current system I made the mistake of diving into the audiophile world and now I'm willing to spend a good amount of money to upgrade my system. 

As much as I want to go balls to the wall crazy and upgrade everything in my system all at once I'm aware that that might not be ideal as I need to further develop my ears and taste. Keeping that in mind I wanna start with upgrading either my speakers and amp. I already have some in mind that I think will suite my preferred voicing but I'm still confused whether I should take it slow and upgrade each one at a time or just go for both? 

Which do you guys prefer? an expensive amp paired with an affordable set of speakers? or the other way around?

Expensive amp or Expensive speakers?

 Now it's one sweet sounding amp that's got me playing my whole music library to hear what I've been missing.

 The Yamaha A-S501 beats my similarly priced Sony, Onkyo and Pioneer receivers with lower distortion, better dynamics and a wider soundstage. I have a few minor gripes: 1: The buttons and knobs are plastic. Volume and function selector have a metal cap but they're plastic under that. With the black unit you can't see the volume setting because the knob has a nearly invisible notch to indicate the level

 I added an external DAC connected to the Yamaha's analog CD input for better sound from digital sources (SMSL M100 for $79.00). Now it's one sweet sounding amp that's got me playing my whole music library to hear what I've been missing.

The A-S501 is my first Yamaha integrated amp. Compared to a home theater receiver it's incredibly easy to set up. Just connect a sound source and speakers, plug it in and you're ready to rock! The sound quality is fantastic for the price. With the right speakers you can hear every detail from a whisper to a roar accurately reproduced (I'm using a pair of Klipsch RP-3 towers)
