Looking for a very good integrated solid state amp
I own Castle Conway IIIs, ProAc 1 sc, Daedalus, & retro Pioneer. An absolutely great amp on all of these speakers is the Yamaha A-S2000.Run those Castles biwired to the A/B terminals, & you will be in for a treat.Plus, you'll get a nice MM... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Audiofun, what type & value r the stock caps? Heard one last nite 4 the first time. Very nice. Based on what people r saying here about break in time & the sound I heard, Cutf - Vcaps perhaps? I've had those & the Cast Duelands in a pr... 
sansui or yamaha
I had a G8000 that was a fun match to some Pioneer 99As, but when matched to any type of difficult load would go into protection if driven hard. The Yamaha A-S2000 is a more neutral & powerful amp. It will moreeasily run more modern speaker lo... 
VPI Traveller
I posted this over on Audio Circle; thought some here may be interested...Got a blue Traveler in my rig for the last week. Run it into a Yamaha A-S2000, Daedalus (hot rodded) DA-1s, w/a Dynavector 10x5 cart.Sounds wonderful! No pops on start/stop ...

The modwright transporter works very well. A really nice combo....! 
Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did???
No worries Bill. ;-). It's a case of 'horses 4 courses'. There's more than one way to skin the 'audio Kat', & I simply referenced my own personalexperience. Audio contains all sorts of 'rabbitt holes' one can disappearinto, 4 any length of tim... 
Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did???
"I've said it before: Tubes are more fun. There, I said it again. Anybody currently using SS amps for anything other than live sound reinforcement is anti-fun. I'm sorry, but it's true, and there's nothing wrong with that so don't feel bad as ther...

Speaker for Yamaha AS2000
I've run both Castle Conway IIIs & Daedalus DA-1s w/hot rodded crossovers. The AS-2000 is the best amp I've paired w/either.My room is a bit larger @25x30x16, & I would recommend any of Lou'sDaedelus speakers. The Castles have a marvelous ...

Review: Yamaha A S-2000 Amplifier
Wanted to correct my 'misinformation' regards the A & B spkr. outputs; they r both the same, not different as stated above. Sorry 4 any confusion....The Yamaha amp/player combo continues to satisfy. The pr. presents music w/a certain 'gestalt'... 
What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates?
Yamaha A-S2000. Looks & sounds beautiful. Replaced a pair of tubemonos & tubed pre. The matching cd player is vastly overlooked. I luv 'em both. Best money I've spent after 15 yrs in the hobby... 
Review: Yamaha A S-2000 Amplifier
Plugged in $90 worth of Mogami gold XLRs..."...produces a huge enveloping soundfield". Yes! With enough currentto bring my 'hot rodded' Daedalus alive... The 'void' btw. btm & mid, the difficult to achieve mid-bass seems to be easily handled b...

Review: Yamaha A S-2000 Amplifier
Xlr or not, this 'guy' continues to impress. I've been running the CD-S2000more, bypassing the transporter, & the tonal colors r outstanding. On allTpes of music too! Foster the People was very good & Jesse Cook, LiveIn Montreal is all 'al...
