Yamaha A-S501 vs Yamaha A-S701 review

Yamaha A-S701 vs Yamaha A-S501

Yamaha A-S701 review

The model in comparison with analogues has a budget price. At the same time, the sound quality is at a fairly high level. A special Pure Direct mode allows signals to travel along the shortest path, resulting in a clean reproduction of songs. A-S701 has gold-plated connectors. They prevent loss of signal. The presence of gold-plated terminals and input connectors opens up more opportunities for the use of equipment. Two Yamaha brothers defined who has more output power. 701 outweighs 501 with its 100/8 vs 85/8 W/Ohm. Yamaha A-S701

Yamaha A-S501 review

A-S501 is equipped with optical and coaxial inputs. The first directional allows you to receive audio from a TV. And the second from the Blu-ray disc player. At the output, you get the clear sound of your favorite tracks. The system also has a special connector for the subwoofer, which allows you to make the sound more powerful. Using the YBA-11 adapter, you can establish a wireless connection with a mobile phone, tablet or computer. This requires only their compatibility. Yamaha A-S501

Yamaha A-S701 pros & cons

Pros

  • The build is very solid. It weighs almost 30 pounds and the outside is very sturdy
  • Another nice feature is that you can unplug the power cord from the unit. This is a nice feature that allows you to purchase a longer or shorter cord if necessary

Cons

  • Overall appearance was spoiled by plastic tone controls

Yamaha A-S501 pros & cons

Pros

  • There's a mode where you can even bypass the filters and switches for even higher fidelity sound
  • It can drive 4 ohm speakers without destroying the amp, which is pretty impressive
  • There's actually a switch in the back for that with a 4 ohm label, so you know it's not just hype

Cons

  • If the unit was turned off, a relay would randomly click inside, sometimes within minutes or even seconds
