Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences?

There is a very favorable review of the A-S3000 in the February 2017 (issue 270) of The Absolute Sound magazine.

I was thinking tubes. Now back on the Sony as2100. Not many asxxxx series used. People must love them

Just wanted to let every one who is intrested in Buying ahigh end integrated amplifier, the AS 3000 is the most natural amplifier you will find on the market at its price range.

It does only one thing, increase the signal, noting more, no tricks, no alterations to the sound, no enhanced frequencies (ps, what hi fi didnt pay attension to that and it only shows that they dont know how to test high end equipment). The sound will be as good as your source and the recordings.

The phono stage is as good as it gets in an Integrated amplifier.

All the shortcomings of your system will be exposed so if you gear is not up to the task and you are after suger coated sound buy something else, if you are after natural, true to life, warm sound then buy it without regrets, its an amplifier for life.

Wow! Thank you very much for your reply. So glad you are happy.

I have owned this amplifier for along time so sure, Iam happy for the fact that it can handle any high end source with out becoming abottle neck (or lets just say I will ran out of money long before it happens).
