New Yamaha a-s3000 and a-s2100 integrated amps ??

" I have the A S2000 and the matching C S2000 SACD PLayer.  Both are built like a tank and sound great.  I use these daily and can report no issues."

The same can be said of my A-S1000/CD-S1000.  Great build and heft and so far trouble free.  Though I am very pleased with the "lower" S1000 models, if the price was right I would step up to the S2000's or S2100's.

No need same circuit on 2000 and 1000 the 2000 has a balanced input that's it.  The 2100 is not better than the 2000 it uses mosfets instead of Jfets. Mosfet has more of a tube like sound. Jfets been around longer some think they have more detail. I've heard both amps I got my 2000 for 1699.00 brand new. To change to the 2100 notice I said change not upgrade would be a minimum of 1k or more for a different sound not better your mileage may very. 1k can buy a lot of records maybe you have old speakers there are a lot of good speakers around that price point. The Martin Logan 15 or 35 or SVS ultra prime kef ls50's. You could get a Mac mini and a nice Dac music fidelity v90 and get Audirvana stream tidal and your library. Audirvana At is incredible much bigger upgrade than changing out an amp.  Point is these are bigger upgrades IMHO than changing from a 2000 to a 2100. Heck you can even get a great turntable at that price difference. And putting goo on your innards of your amp won't get you there either. Lmao if you know what I mean. 

Why do audiophile always perceive different as better? This is the case with both the A-S2000 and the 2100. Both are very fine but with slightly different sounds. The A-S2000 is far better based on it's current used market price. They are much more alike than different to justify the massive price difference. I own both and really have no preference other than the minimal convenience the remote provides with the 2100.Both make wonderful music! If you really want to hear a difference, EAT LESS CHEESE!

Same reason as kids like the new  toy better .
