Yamaha AS-1100 52pound 2ch Pure-Breed 'Integrated amp PoP The Hood only 😆 overview coming very soon 

Lol !! 😆 diman75 thats funny !

Yes one of the first impressions I got from the amp was how well it produces that 3d imaging a wave of sound with not only height and width but depth also ! 😆

That's right ! Love those momments though threw audio playback that are magical - after 3 years and dozens of integrateds I still have the Yammie - But theirs an ole girl in town OMG!! Coming Soon ' Stay Tuned

You wouldn't believe how many Yammys I have owned geez its alot I got a C.A. 810 I bought a couple months back . These new models that are built very good AS-1000 and up are outstanding ! I love the weight of the power ! Congrats on the 1200 ! hope you watched Zero Fidelity review I would love to compare to the 1100 i am sure theor very close in sound the 1100 weighs a lil more but that Toridal transformer has less noise than the el transformer but el transformers have a lil bit warmer sound Enjoy thanks for stopping in !

@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 I did watch Zero Fidelity's review (Sean is such a knowledgeable well spoken audio nerd - love his videos) and follow up video on the A-S1200 and agree with his observations - now that I have owned it awhile, the amp is better than it was when new. It went from a little aggressive to smooth as a new baby's ass in the lower treble range. The new unit has always been smoother and more detailed than the outgoing model, which, in fairness, is almost 40 years old! Amazing that the old amp is as good as it is. For me it was down to the Parasound Hint 6 and the Yammie. I like the Hint 6 as it is a powerful beast and it has more features (built in DAC, better headphone stage, etc) than the A-S1200. I just plain love the heft and the look of the Yammie though, and had such a great experience with the brand for so many years. I also appreciate the purity of design embodied in the Yamaha A-S line - I can buy an external DAC and headphone amp, it is better to have those components as separates anyway. The thing that sealed the purchase is I got a killer deal (2K, shipped) on my supposedly refurb unit. Almost got a leftover A-S2100 (similar refurb deal) but went for the new model. It arrived sealed in it's plastic bag and with that new electronics smell and it broke in over time. There was no distinguishing that the unit was not brand new. I plan to leave this amp in my will to my kid - LMAO... Enjoyed your video on the Yammie A-S1100, got lots to catch up on. Subscribed!

@@duken4evr thanks for subscribing !

That is correct andrew 😆

Thank you ! 😆

Same. I subbed to watch your review of it.

@@Phoenix_1991 Thank You 😆 !!

Thank you for stopping in , Glad you enjoy the amp ! 😆

Yes Stereo police did a great job !

Tee-Jay The Stereo-Bargain-File totally agree. 👍🏼

10-15 years for me 😆 yeahaaa ! Thanks for stopping in !

@jayroland9481 thank you I git the Newer Denon Pma 1700 and Galion TS120 Se and Galion TS A20 - 10k total !! Denon for price is pretty legit but it doesn't have the Clarity of AS 1100/1200 but dam Yamaha picky man with speaker pairing man !!! I also owned many vintage intg Amps from the 70s but the new ones have very good clarity a little forward in upper mids but over all great amp and built better than some 5k intg Amps!

@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 Well my speakers are month old Monitor Audio Silver 300 7G and I've been assured the 1200 would drive them pretty easily, so fingers crossed. They will be doing dual duty with my Yamaha 3060 AVR so it will be nice to compare that with the sound from the 1200. Sources are a new Denon 1700NE SACD player and a vintage Kenwood KD-5066 turntable.

@jayroland9481 built in phono eq is really good !

@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 I'm hoping it is, then I might start buying more vinyl again. Not bought vinyl in many years so quite excited to see what the 1200 delivers. I also need to get a new stylus/cart for the KD-5066 but I'm rather spoilt for choice with there being loads of options available which surprised me as the deck is from the 1970's.

@jayroland9481 I have only owned 3 speakers out of dozens and dozens of speakers that paired up good with my as1100 Yamaha elac ub52/PIONEER FS52S POLK LSIM 703 ALL MY METAL DOME TWEETER SPEAKERS JUST SOUND TO HARD WITH A BITE TO IT JUST KEEPONG IT REAL' SEAN FAWLER ZERO Fidelity said 1200 sounded great with KLH Model 5s so I friend of mine bought my as1100 hooked up to his hlh model 5 and it's OK I wouldn't call it synergy but on great recordings yeah sounds good '

Thank you!! I been working on it. i'm on take 4 lol I only do a one take no editing just str8 up 😆Working hard to have it by Sunday , on my 8th set of speakers just wanna be accurate thanks again

Hey just seen thos comment , with the KEF Q-100 the amp i think was maxing them out 😆 But yeah i would love to try the KEF R300S or R3 or R5 , I even mentioned this in other comments ! Thank you for letting me know ! And thanks for stopping in !!

I agree ! Back in the Day i had the Pioneer sx1050 beast ! Thanks for stopping in 😆

Thanks Dan , Yeah its a beast thats built right

Reviews made for me and Yeewwww!

@@gustercc lol you all have me so weak i swear i love the comments more than anything Yammy Vs Sansui coming soon 😆

Thank you for your reply ! Thats great a high high voltage transformer station I absouletly love it !!!

I have plenty Eagle albums

Thanks Audio Electeonics 😆 You have a couple tanks yourself 😆 Love your channel buddy ! The Yamaha sounds Amazing !

There you R !!

Enjoy the Nad they make awesome audio also ! Thanks for stopping in !

Thank you Elvin !

Ohh please don't say that , I almost talked about that but don't wanna tell people how to spend their hard earn money so i left it alone 😆 Thanks for the comment

The P6 has been on my radar i wrote Parasound but no reply yet , thats awesome you brought this up !!!!! I wanted to compare Newer Pure Analog VS DIGITAL integrated amp , if i could get people to write Parasound that would be awesome ! I love both companys !

Yeah the AS-1100 is a step up from budget gear and 3x the price as the IOTAVX-STACK , I will tell you this the IOTAVX-STACK Is the best sounding pre 1k integrated amp i have ever spent time with ! It sounds like a 14-$1500.00 amp to me i absouletly love it ! So balanced and close to netural not to warm not to cool I have enjoyed the IOTAVX-STACK so much compared to other gear around its price point that i spent time with well the IOTA in my opion out performed them overall and i have owned more pre 1k amps than i can remb 😆 enjoy the IOTA its a rocken amp !

😆 that it is 😆 you all cracking me up today ! I just wanted to get a reference amp in also their sale price of $1899.00 at HDvisionworks is crazy normally 3k thanks for stopping in Jaime !!! And no i make no money from saying that 😆 I bought new in the box from an individual but still filled out the warranty papers and sent them in but they will know i opened it up ,these manufactors are on it ! my enjoyment is the passion of audio and talking to other passionte enthusiast 😆have a good Jaime

@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 Im loving your channel man, I only have a 1974 Marantz 2220B and a 1977 Yamaha CR-620 that I restored myself to mint condition and I love them, but I want this moster! and I will have it hahaha let the saving start...

I agree 100 percent during overview i will go ovef that , They started out at 3k then they dropped down to 2499.00US and now that the new AS-1200/2200/3200 is coming out these amps have dropped down below $1899.00 Still exspensive though i agree , I got a deal on it a could not refuse !

Powerful basement dweller thanks for stopping in 😆

Yeah the midrange has been outstanding on the JbL studio 580s/530s, and now the Lsim 703s on music took it to another level , I couldn't find the tubes inside 😆 The imaging is outstanding trying the Kefs out nexted 😆 but there can be alot of factors , I had to build a dedicated room for good accoustics built all on my own this helped out alot ! Thanks for stopping in 😆

Tee-Jay The Stereo-Bargain-File you should give us a room tour explaining how you decided to place any acoustical treatments. (Rugs, bass traps or curtains etc...) I swear, no one goes into how to do that stuff. It would also be nice if someone could show the newbies how you have everything hooked up. DAC’s, amps, preamps, etc....

Lmao !!! Trey you killing my lungs with laughter ohh thats a good 1 bud ! But i always dive into that kiss espically if its costing me a steak dinner date !! These country girls i'm surrounded by though ohhhhh my !!

Slightly warm by having the mosphetes not as much warm as it is very non fatiguing Powerfully RICH , I would say netural sounding with a dash of warmth , with the Klispch RP-160m the top end and upper mids have some real meat on the bone i was shocked !! Thanks for the questions , those Klispch you got are some Kickass speakers !

Hey buddy it might of been one that got deleted i had to many videos posted with music playback utube got me for copy right infringement i will try to find it

The price is in my description box , but MSRP is $3,000US then it dropped to $2499.00 US for about 2 years now thier on sale for $1799.00 I had an 801 before i started my utube channel

Their very close but the AS-2100 has balanced inputs and the headphone ampliefier has impendence matching switch on front panel the As-2100 weighs 2 ounces more lol

And the 2100 has 88k uf compasitance bank , where the 1100 has 72k uf compasitance bank so yes the 2100 has a 1-2 db advantage 😆 thanks for stopping in !

Yes it has home theater bypass which means if your AVR has Preouts for the 2 front channels left and right you just run those outputs straight into the Yamaha amp input , I will go threw this during overview buddy , And this amp was built totally for sound quality , Its pure analog basically analog Pre-amp/amp so you get very very low noise and no digital inteferrence it has no bluetooth/dac/streamer/ Wi-Fi all these features put out RF noise and they rob power from the one built in power source , This allows for far superior sound quality , But you can still hook up Any AVR to it and use the volume control fron your avr . I have a modi 3 dac hooked up to it with the ifi ipower supply and very good budget cables and it sounds amazing ! Also have my Pioneer SACD player and iFi zen blue bkuetooth reciever hooked up threw the my dac. I will showcyou with my Matantz AVR how to hook to the Yamaha , 😆

@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 You got admit, this integrated amp purchasing is so confusing with so many options including Shitt Audio products that match your modi 3!🤪🤯 I mean do you do dual monoblocks with a separate Dac, Do you get an all one integrated? so many companies out there that it's just so overwhelming with about a $5,000 budget. And because I have the JBL 590's which are 92 DB efficient the power aspect of things or should I say more power isn't even really necessary.🤪🤪 I'm considering getting a high-end AVR to replace my 20 year old Denon because again my speakers don't take that much to drive anyway but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot regarding sound quality. At this time my wife and I never think to ourselves wow this home theater needs to sound better because we never say that. Put 2 Channel music into the mix after seeing some RU-vid videos over the years, I just can't stop thinking how much better the 2-channel experience can be even though the Denon packs wallop to begin with, just so confusing!🤪😝🤔🙄 and then you throw in the prospect of tube amplifiers snd it really can spin your head!🤫🤫🤭🤭🤪 it seems I literally have to be the buying and return guy because you can't tell about any of these things in a showroom without your equipment and speakers it's just a waste of time!

@@bigjay1970 Aune X8 dac review coming soon , sweet lil dac for the money Big Jay !

Man , I 'm sorry to hear that about the Parasound , i have had my eye on the Halo hint 6 also, but i wanted pure analog , i didnt want any built in dacs or bluetooth or Wi-Fi , adding to the over all noise and feeding off one power supply , but its convenient , And yes the Yammy is exspensive, i worked very hard for it and got an amazing deal on this one, and their very reliable , thanks for stopping in , man i hate that with your Parasound they make very good audio also

Normally it allows for a quiter transformer and less interference , Schiit Audio doesn't believe this , But i'm sure the 1200 is very good , I would like to test them against each other , but the 1200 has a couple more things going for it 😆 appricate you stopping in !

Bob on the inside theirs a nut on the back of the Potentiometer (inside amp) its like a 10mm or close to that i never took off before but i seen it . Did it come lose or someting ? Are you just talking about the knob ? If so its a set screw that holds the knob on most likely a 1mm allen key

Lol Carbon resitors 😆

@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 nope its the resistor,.i mean the blue one with oval shape

Got ya buddy , Here we go , being a huge Yamaha fan i was disappointed in the AS-801 , I bought the 801 to kick start the channel ,do to all the Highly acclaim reviews at the time of the 801 When i got the 801 in i tried with many speakers and it was just really thin sounding It didn't have that weight to it, even though it had boosted bass and treble, their still wasn't enough meat on the bone and the midrange i felt suffered the V shape sound charcter and the background noise wasn't as dark or as quite as my 2010 model Yamaha AX-497 pure analog Integrated which i did a horrible review of , So i Popped the hood on both integrateds and notice that the Yamaha AS- 801 was a all in one box loaded up ! and the Yamaha 497 was just a Preamp and Amp 'pure analog 'and much more balanced overall But thats just my humbled Opion on the 801 So i reached out to a friend who reccomended The IOTAVX-STACK 'Zero fidelity' And i was BLOWN away by the IOTA SA3/PA3 Stack 54,200 UF compasitors 2 power supplies good internal electronics Vintage flavor with new age clean details , I never menstioned this on video because there is alot of people who own and love the 801 and i wanna keep positive reviews on the channel , I should have went for the AS-1000 and honestly I couldn't afford the AS-1100 , I just got lucky and basically sold some Vintage gear to obtain the AS-1100 , Try and see if you can get a trial period with the 801 you may love it !

Dam i wrote a book or an essay thanks for stopping in

@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 Thanks for the reply Tee-Jay; I watched Sean's (Zero Fidelity) review of the 801 again, he didn't rave about the 801 but had a different view of the sound characteristic as far as the 'V' shape. I live a couple hours from Crutchfield so maybe I can get over and listen to it before buying. thanks again - really enjoy your videos.

Thanks you ! Overview drops tommorrow 😆

😆

Heck yeah I do !

Still feel the same about it? Any change in the sound after burn in? Someone said they changed the voicing from the 1100 to the 1200, do you have any input on that? Keep up the great work!

@@todddonaldson2822 I know the 1200 lost 4 pounds compared to the 1100 but i never tried the 1200 wish Yamaha would send me one i would have the side by side comparrsion I do know the el transformer in the 1100 is very heavy and has a warmer sound overall than the toridal transformer in the 1200 . theirs a video online utube where the engeeners of yamaha actually tunned the preamp board of the 1100 to have more of that british sound but yeah I love the 1100 and it weighs the same as the new 2200 . But hopefully the 1200 sounds better but thats subjective but the 1100 was 3k msrp and still holds its price at 2499.00 today new . The 1200 sales for a little less Msrp 2699.00 but maybe Yamaha helping us out yes i feel the same about the 1100

Interesting the el transformer make a difference in sound. Thanks man!

@@todddonaldson2822 why yeah it makes a difference butt ! Lol that doesnt mean it sound worse or better but most cases warmer thanks for stopping in

Well i order the fluance 85 but i cancelled shortly after in favor of trying to find a good vintage Record player , You have any reccomendations for a player ?

@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 TeeJay, just came up on your channel from your review of the Yamaha A-S1200, nice amp. On the record player, there is a YT channel "HiViNyws channel". The guy does a lot of reviews on record players and cartridges. He includes a lot of A vs B sound samples, his testing seems pretty thorough. For vintage he recommended to me the Technics SL1200, Mk2 through Mk5. A Technics SL1200Mk5 won a shootout against a Rega P3. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ogiWnw5X0ZI.html.

Thats a 4 channel home theater amp , The Yamaha is a 2 channel hifi amp its not the size of the transformer that matters but the quality of the internals, Is the HK a class D amp ?

@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 It is an interesting amp. Can run 500 wpc at 2 ohm load all day long. I got it to run some complex Dahlquist speakers. Here is the designer's description. "Steve Mantz, now with Zed Audio, was instrumental in the Citation 5.1 and 7.1 amp creation: "We did design and build the Citation 7.1 and the smaller 5.1. We built a lot of these for Harman International. The amplifiers are flat from DC to 270KHz where the response is about 1dB down. Harman wanted this silly specification, why I do not know because we are not bats and cannot hear that high. The original specification was that they wanted the amplifier to go out to 600KHz, but the first prototypes were NOT happy out there and so we 'compromised' at just under 300KHz. Each channel uses 10 Toshiba 20MHz output devices with a theoretical dissipation of 1,500 watts. The circuitry is fully complementary from input to output and it has some very unique features. Each channel has 6 power supplies which are separate from the other channels. The only common item between channels is the power transformer, which is a 2.2Kw toroid.
