High sound quality circuit design based on the ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) concept
ToP-ART Design and ART Base Ensure Optimum Sound When processing and transmission of the audio signal is simple and direct there is less chance of it being affected by noise and distortion. Yamaha s amplifier design technology called ToP-ART features an I/O (input to output) Direct Symmetrical Design, with left and right channels organised in a straight, symmetrical layout for highest signal purity. In addition, the ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base bottom chassis and a solid centre bar provide high-rigidity support and vibration damping. These Yamaha design innovations contribute to this amplifiers rich audio reproduction with abundant musicality.

High Quality Parts for Outstanding Audio Performance
Custom-made power transformer, custom-made block capacitors, two direct signal path speaker relays, one-point grounding system, aluminium-extruded heat sinks and other top-quality parts effortlessly handle demanding audio signal conditions. The quality of each individual part, as well as how they work together, basically determines the sound quality of any component. Yamaha uses only very high quality parts, carefully selected and tested.

Created by Yamaha's Rich Experience and Tradition, and High Technological Expertise
Yamaha, with a long history of over 125 years as a musical instrument maker, also has a high reputation for HiFi components. The A-S501 is created by taking advantage of this rich experience and high technological expertise. Based on the concept of Natural Sound , for reproducing all music as it really sounds, and built with scrupulous care from circuit design to basic sound production, even though an entry model it reproduces high sound quality and musically rich sound.

Pure Direct Mode for Greater Sound Purity
The Pure Direct mode causes the music signals to travel the shortest possible circuit route, bypassing the buffer amp and the tone, loudness and balance controls to virtually eliminate any signal degradation for the purest sound quality.

Continuously Variable Loudness Control
The A-S501 also feature a new analogue loudness control on the front panel that uses electronic volume for higher sound quality, which lets you adjust the loudness effect as desired. Separate from the overall volume, this controls the balance of the low- and high- frequency sounds, providing full tonal range at any volume level, compensating for the natural loss in the human ear of high and low frequencies at soft levels.

Gold-plated Terminals
Gold-plated terminals ensure a high quality connection that prevents signal loss. The A-S501 have Gold-plated speaker terminals and RCA (CD, Phono) and coaxial terminals.

Digital Audio Input for TV and/or Blu-ray Player
The A-S501 is equipped for digital audio input with both optical and coaxial terminals. The optical is for receiving audio from a TV, and the coaxial for receiving audio from a Blu-ray player. The audio stays in the digital domain, giving you pure, pristine dynamic sound for all your entertainment sources, from sports and other programmes to movies and concerts.

Connection for YBA-11 Bluetooth Wireless Adapter
With the YBA-11, you ll be able to stream music wirelessly from a Bluetooth capable mobile phone or a PC to the Network receiver. Thanks to the digital connection and aptX audio coding algorithm, you ll enjoy wireless music streaming with optimum sound quality. You can also conveniently power the YBA-11 via the DC-out connection on the rear panel of the amplifier.

Speaker A, B or A+B Selection and Speaker Terminals for Two Systems
You can connect two separate speaker systems in different rooms and switch between them, or have them both playing at the same time. There are four terminals, so by just pushing a button, you can switch speakers to match the sound source.

Subwoofer Terminal
A terminal for connecting a subwoofer is provided, allowing you to increase the bass output of your system for a more powerful sound with better overall sound quality.

Phono MM Terminal
You can connect a turntable with an MM phono cartridge to play vinyl records. This lets you enjoy not only CDs, but also analogue record sound from an amp with the latest digital/analogue technology.

Simple yet Sophisticated Design
With a beautifully simple and unique design inherited directly from Yamaha s HiFi audio components, this amplifier also boast an easy-to-operate button layout. The aluminum front panel has a richly textured silver hairline finish.

Remote Control with Clean, Simple Design
The clean, simple design of the remote control provides easy-to-understand one-hand operation. The easy-to-use design makes it simple to adjust song volume and order. The unit has a sophisticated looking hairline finish that matches the design of the amplifiers. You can also use the remote to control a Yamaha CD player.

Rotary Encoder Input Selector with LEDs
The rotary encoder makes it quick and easy to select input sources. The luxury hairline finish material offers a nice tactile feeling. LEDs clearly show which source is selected, so you can easily switch sources even in a dark room.

Auto Power Standby Function
The amplifier has a power management function that detects when it hasn't been used for a long time (about 8 hours) even though the power is on, and automatically shifts it into standby mode. So even if you forget to turn it off, power consumption will be minimized.

the cable is what it states it is big and heavy and flows a lot of power needed

Great streaning amp. I love that it looks like my old Yamaha CA-810 amp. However, all of the new tech and connections make the R-N2000A a more than worthy successor.

Great entry level audiophile turntable!

The Eversolo A-8 is a beautiful and very functional DAC Streamers. Aaron service was on point. All thumbs up for Safe and Sound

These are amazing speakers. I did a lot of reading reviews about these before I purchased them. And just like almost all the reviewers said, they sound incredible! The sound does bounce off the walls and immerses you with sound. Even played at low volume, The sound is just pure and realistic. I would highly recommend these to anyone who loves all kinds of music !

The speakers arrived in great condition and the sound really fills my space well. Thank you!

I was genuinely surprised by how much of an impact the Esprit Aura had coming from the Esprit Celesta. The soundstage is dramatically larger and fine details are significantly improved versus the Celesta. The bass was also significantly improved too, bringing deeper extensions on the bottom end just like the better details on the high end. The difference is so significant that’s it’s hard to give a single example because it affected everything so dramatically. As an example though, symbols taper off slower, as it preserves the softer part of the roll off that wasn’t being preserved via the Esprit Celesta cable.
My system consists of a Hifi Rose RS152 going to the RA280 integrated. Speakers are the Audel Magika Plus. Going from the streamer to the amp was a Celesta XLR interconnect.

Excellent upgrade from the 2M Red.

By far the best listening experience of any speakers I’ve owned.

I like the unit, but I have a metal roof of my house. What kind of antenna do I need? I’m having a hard time getting channels.

Great they showed up in beautiful condition, they sound great i really have been enjoying them!

Great product and flawless transaction: no muss, no fuss; arrived on time, all in good condition. What's not to like!

Great turntable, easy transaction.

Massive power, no need for a separate amp for 90 db or higher fronts. This has great streaming capability and high grade DAC.
