opinion on yamaha receivers/amps


Any advice on Yamaha AS 301 Vs, Yamaha R-N 600A.  I realize they are different types of receivers and different price points. Listen primarily to vinyl and cds. I have ELAC Debut 2.0 speakers. Emphasis is on sound quality. Thanks

For what you will pay for one of these Yamaha's you can get a good integrated amplifier from Arcam,Rotel or NAD that will provide better performance & will support upgrades to your speakers,TT & power cable at a later date..If your budget is absolutely rock bottom, the AS301 is a solid buy but you'll be locked in to it with no path for upgrades later on..IMO better to wait & save just a little more $ & get something that will grow with you..

@foggyus91 OMG,OP is looking at a $300.00 integrated & you recommend a $1500.00 & $2100.00 used & multi thousand $ new alternate,real helpful...Oh & I'M NOT A FAN of ANY of YOUR recommendations..
