| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? I have had the Yamaha A-S3000 for two and a half months now and I wanted to report back and post a few comments. My wife bought me a new Mac mini for my birthday (I'm a lucky guy) and I optimized it for use as a dedicated music server combined wi... | |
| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? That's great because I love the silver version.Agreed. There's something really nice about the silver version with the black gloss side panels. Sound is what really matters but it's a real bonus to have such a nice looking integrated. I bet the... | |
| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? As willand mentions above the tone controls of the Yamaha AS3000 are bypassed in main direct mode. I use my AS3000 primarily for stereo listening with an Hegel HD11 DAC but I do have the left and right preamp channels of my home theatre receiver ... | |
| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? Arch, where did you purchase yours? I purchased here on Audiogon weekend before last. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. | |
| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? I've lived with the Yamaha A-S3000 for about 5 days now and can only say it is a truly special piece. I see the previous comments about the What HiFi review of the 3000 as I read the same review prior to my purchase. All I can say is their prefe... | |
| Yamaha? Welcome back! In terms of bass, I have owned several class D integrated amps with their characteristics being about speed, tautness and clarity that I thought were ideal, though they always seemed lacking in mid-bass, lower midrange fullness (that's not an exha... | |
| Yamaha? Welcome back! I've had a Yamaha as3000 in my system for two days now and it's a pretty amazing integrated. Was aiming for a 2100 but couldn't resist the 3000 and bought it used. It's doing the things MOSFET's are good at (smooth, liquid, natural) without some... | |
| ARC CD 3 Doesn't read disc? I used to own an ARC CDT-1 transport that had a very similar problem right after I purchased it used as it was very picky which CD's it would play. I used a dry Q-tip and very lightly cleaned the laser lens making sure I didn't leave any strands o... | |
| Great guys to deal with in the audio industry Ty Lashbrook with Tyler Acoustics. Nicest guy I have dealt with in audio. Great speakers too. | |
| Anyone has heard the Bel Canto REFLink Asynchronou I have had the REFLink for about a week and a half and I'm pretty impressed. I've been running it 24/7 and probably still breaking in but in my system the improvement to stringed instruments has been significant. Sense of space has also improved a... | |
| Best AV receiver if I also want very good music? If you like the sound of Class D I recommend the Pioneer Elite SC-27. Clean, fast, dynamic with very good extension at the frequency extremes but does lack a little body compared to tubes or even Class A. I have one I was using between amp purchas... | |
| VPI Scout vs VPI Classic Vernneal it's a deal. But shipping is an additional $850. | |
| High-end amplifier clarification? Lrsky, you win. Pass Labs before marriage, receiver after. | |
| VPI Scout vs VPI Classic Thanks everyone for your comments. When I clamp a record down to my Scout via the VPI clamp and rubber washer I feel focus is pretty good but it seems some of the dynamics are reduced in the process, and the sound seems smaller. I can see where yo... | |
| Sibilance issues with vinyl rig To follow up on Markd51's comments I use a MintLP Tractor with my Scout, JMW9 arm and Dynavector 20X L cartridge. It's a very exacting procedure and takes some time to do it right but I have not had any of the issues the OP is having. I use the tw... |
