Thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime, I've saved up some money, and recently bought the 'newer' Yamaha R-N1000A amp. I must admit I'm completely blown-away by this amp. I've never experienced my speakers sounding this good before. I realy enjoy Yamaha gear. Never dissapoints. Have a nice one

Hi, I concur with the sentiments expressed in the other review regarding the Yamaha RN-800a amplifier—it truly stands out. Despite having previously owned various stereo hi-fi amplifiers paired with the same speakers and sub (Marantz/Rotel), none have quite reached the level of sound quality...

Hello Rodolfo, I don't use any of the wireless MusicCast features, at least definitely not in my vinyl setup. I use the vinyl player as one without a preamp, so I connect the un-amplified phono RCA output directly to the phono RCA input of my Yamaha amp. Furthermore, when I listen to vinyl, all...

I liked it, also aesthetically. And on top, i got a great deal (with even a free 2M Blue update). As simple as that :). I never intented to use the built-in preamp, since I assumed it couldn't be one of high quality at this price range. Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into it

Hi, Thank you for the guidance. Nevertheless, I followed your instructions and still find the output to be subpar, even poor. I conducted a test by using two sets of cables: one from the phono output on the turntable to the phono stage of the amplifier, and the other from the aux output on the...

That's accurate, but I didn't acquire this turntable for its integrated preamp. It's just a feature compatible with the musiccast app, that I do not use in this case. Moreover, in my opinion, this built-in preamp is far from great as it amplifies all audio in an unpleasant manner. You get like...

Hi Al ears Thanks for the response I am considering something in the price range of the Tubebox S2. It indeed helped a lot with the volume, especially with the manually adjustable ohms at the back, and the adjustable gain at the front. I also experienced a warmer, more detailed sound from it...

Hi all I presently own the following hifi equipment: Yamaha RN-800a stereo receiver featuring a built-in phono stage. A set of Q Acoustics 3050 speakers. Rel T/5x subwoofer. Yamaha Vinyl 500 record player upgraded with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. While I generally enjoy the performance of...

Hi all Question about choice of amp. Until now I was mostly streaming music/watching tv via a Yamaha Aventage surround receiver with Q acoustics 3050 as front speakers and 3020's/3010's as surround speakers. I also have a REL sub t/5x that I connect to the surround receiver via the LFE stage...
