Yamaha A-S1100 vs Cambridge Audio Azur 851A

Yamaha A-S1100 review

The amplifier delivers 90W (8 ohms) power output per channel vs 60W that provides the second competitor. Only high-quality solutions are hidden under the body. By folding the lid, you will find pedantry that is not characteristic of Japanese masters in the placement of components. On the sides are power amplification units, divided into the right and left channel. The transformer with an unusual EL core is shielded and displayed in a separate unit. This integral element is mounted on the chassis using brass gaskets. Due to this, the degree of internal vibration is reduced and, as a result, the permissible level of interference is reduced.
