Fist of all I would like to thank people , who have contributed to get me the YAMAHA A-S2000 amplifier.
FM Denon who initially indicated for this model
JAI1611 , who had the personal experience of this amp with his dynaaudios-- when I asked him to suggest between parasound A23 and Yamaha amp, as I already had 2 preamplifier, so was inclined towards parasound power amplifier, his response was-sell those preamps and get the Yamaha
So what proof needed after this.
And finally nail on the head action was done by Mr REUBENSM. He drove all the way from one end of Trivendrum to other
to check the amplifier, whether it is in mint condition(DEMO piece) as claimed by seller. As he confirmed , deal was struck.
I did not know after spending so little time on this forum ,I would be greeted and helped by people with much enthusiasm.
Really I am grateful to them.
My speakers are PSB Synchrony Two Floorstandars with 4ohm impedance rating and my amplifier NAD 375 BEE was not doing justice with them though rated at 150WPC. Only with higher volume it was throwing some high class content.
Later I decided to do some experiments with preamps (PASS B1 & IFI-ITUBE) and got some good results but the high current requirements
from speakers were still missing.
Now comes in picture , the much acclaimed -affordable high end amplifier YAMAHA A-S2000
and it changed the whole scene-
It has shown the finesse which I heard in Germany with AVM amp & PMC speaker combination.
This amp deserve serious speakers to show its brilliance.
The Synchrony Twos are outstanding speakers that convey every dot, tittle and nuance the A-S2000 is able to wring out of the music.
Lesser speakers simply will not reveal the sonic prowess the A-S2000 is capable of so if you buy this amp, be sure to pair it with truly high-end full range speakers.
The A-S2000 is worthy of such company. I would not recommend speakers that are inefficient though. A quality of the A-S2000 that especially shines is its ability to
render accurate bass which is spot on authentic, detailed and powerful without a hint of tubbiness or exaggeration- even when you turn it up high. As a matter of
fact, while I was running the A-S2000 through its paces, I never perceived any lack of power, on the contrary, I found the Yamaha to seem at ease and effortless in producing a full powerful musical presentation which only gets better as the volume goes higher. This I feel is a very special attribute that distinguishes the
A-S2000 from most other high-end amps, this uncanny ability to sound excellent at low listening levels as well as when the volume is loud. Again,
I can only surmise that this must be the result of Yamaha's revolutionary fully balanced circuitry design. I found myself scratching my head and
saying "There is NO way this is a 90 WPC RMS amplifier!"
It must be obvious by now that I am extremely pleased and impressed with this gem of an integrated amp. The synergy of the A-S2000 through the PSB Synchrony two
speakers has proved to be the best I have personally ever heard. For the money spent, you just cannot go wrong with the Yamaha A-S2000 and I give it my highest
recommendation.
I have TT supplied by FM shafic and my vinyl journey started with the amazing phono input Yamaha has. And My family was astonished when first vinyl I played.
Thanks Shafic. I am adding this line after seeing your comment, forgot about the amazing TT completely ,My Mistake.
If requested pictures will follow soon.since set-up is in living room so after much trial and error sweet spot has been found but there is very little chance
of improvement now. If suggestions given in this regard then I will post in wanted section -wanted house with dedicated listening room
anyway my future upgrade is going in that direction only with the same setup what i have today.
