Yamaha A-S301 vs NAD C 316BEE

Yamaha A-S301 review

Gourmets of quality sound who are familiar with Yamaha equipment will recognize the new model in design. The company that produces amplifiers does this in its own unique style, which is difficult to confuse with others. This was reflected in the equipment in a positive way. The front panel is made of aluminum. It successfully located all the necessary levers for control. Yamaha A-S301 output power is a bit higher than NAD has. Look at it: 60W vs 40W (8 Ohms).

NAD C 316BEE review

The switching capabilities of the model allow you to connect a variety of sound sources to it: a vinyl player, a CD player, and a digital compact player. On the front panel of the device there is a headphone output and an input for an MP3 player. The device controls the sound of low and high frequencies, which is convenient if some records need to achieve more detailed sound or get more powerful bass. Thanks to the use of unique circuitry solutions, standby power consumption is less than one watt. This class C316BEE sets the quality standard, it is characterized by a minimum level of distortion, as well as an excellent indicator of channel separation.
