Product description
After a meticulous design process and a commitment to sonic excellence, Adorama proudly offers the Yamaha A-S3200 2-Channel Integrated Amplifier, a true embodiment of high-fidelity audio and a testament to Yamaha's dedication to innovation and musicality. This flagship integrated amplifier is engineered to realize the artist's vision, setting a new standard in audio performance.The A-S3200 is a powerful, high-quality instrument that delivers music with exceptional clarity, separation, depth, and a wide, life-like soundstage. It presents audio with natural fidelity, free from coloration, ensuring that listeners experience music as it was originally recorded. With its deep bass, accurate mids, and sparkling highs, the A-S3200 surpasses the performance of revered vintage gear and modern counterparts alike, offering a listening experience that exceeds expectations.At the heart of the A-S3200's pure musicality is a large toroidal transformer, expertly designed to minimize flux leakage and energy loss. This results in a direct and efficient energy transfer, allowing listeners to feel the full emotional impact of the music. The use of high-quality capacitors, known for their musical performance, further enhances the authentic sound delivery.The amplifier's dedicated phono amp, featuring a discretely configured MC head amp and equalizer amp, produces a rich and pronounced musicality when playing vinyl records. Whether using MC or MM phono cartridges, the A-S3200 ensures a vinyl listening experience that is both immersive and true to the original recording.Yamaha's low impedance design concept is integral to the A-S3200, minimizing energy loss and preserving the integrity of the audio signal. This results in an open, natural soundstage that bridges the gap between the listener and the artist, making for an active and engaging musical experience.Connectivity is paramount in the A-S3200, with brass screws and oxygen-free copper terminals for block capacitors ensuring superior connections. The four large 22,000 microF capacitors provide ample headroom to produce an expansive soundstage.The fully balanced circuitry from input to speaker offers numerous listening benefits, including an impressively low signal-to-noise ratio that perfects the silence between musical passages. This design also enhances channel separation, creating a soundstage that makes the system virtually disappear, placing the listener in the room with the artist.Yamaha's original speaker terminals, crafted from pure brass, ensure a secure and high-quality connection, while the Mechanical Ground Concept maximizes rigidity and reduces unwanted vibration. The result is a deep, rhythmic, and melodious bass that resonates with the story of the music.The A-S3200's design is as meticulous as its sound. Elegant switches and knobs provide a tactile connection between the listener and the engineer's craft. The large level meters, with their softly illuminated LEDs, visually present the dynamics of...
