A stereo integrated amplifier from Yamaha. Yamaha rates it at 60 W + 60 W into 8 ohms (20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.019% THD) and describes it as an entry model in its HiFi range, with digital inputs and an MM phono input.

Yamaha says the A-S301 uses its ToP-ART design, with a direct symmetrical layout, an ART Base chassis, a custom power transformer and custom block capacitors.

Why you will love it

ToP-ART design and quality parts

Yamaha says its ToP-ART design keeps the signal path short, with left and right channels laid out in a symmetrical, input-to-output direct arrangement. Its ART Base chassis and solid centre bar provide rigidity and damp vibration.

Parts listed by Yamaha include a custom power transformer, 6,800 uF block capacitors, two direct signal path speaker relays, a one-point grounding system and aluminium-extruded heat sinks.

Inputs for TV, CD and records

Yamaha lists optical and coaxial digital inputs. It says the optical input is for a TV and the coaxial input is for a Blu-ray player. A phono input accepts a turntable with an MM cartridge.

Yamaha lists 8 audio inputs and 2 outputs in total. A Pure Direct mode sends the signal by the shortest route and bypasses the buffer amp and the tone, loudness and balance controls.

Two pairs of speakers and a subwoofer

There are four speaker terminals. Yamaha says you can switch between two speaker systems, or play both together (A+B). A subwoofer output is also provided.

A continuously variable loudness control on the front panel adjusts the balance of low and high frequencies, separate from the main volume.

Everyday use

Yamaha describes a rotary encoder input selector with LEDs that show the selected source, and a remote control that can also operate a Yamaha CD player. An auto power standby function puts the amplifier in standby after about 8 hours without use.

Yamaha lists a connection for its YBA-11 Bluetooth wireless adapter and a DC out on the rear panel that can power it. The adapter is a separate product and is not included.

    Yamaha Stereo Amp

    An excellent value amp which performs very well. Hopefully will last as long as my old CA - 610 it replaces.
