    Great value Amp

    Replaced an old Harmon Kardon integrated amp and have been very pleased with my purchase. The focus on this device is the audio and less about video which is exactly what I was looking for in an amp. Have it driving a linear TT, internet tuner, CD jukebox, 2 Bose 601c loud speakers and pre-amp and it works like a champ! Loving it!

    Great buy!

    My first good stereo was in 1973. It amazes me the level of quality you can get today with relatively little money. This Yamaha amp sounds really, really good at its price point. It is powerful, musical, and natural sounding. However, these qualities are only evident when when the Pure Direct circuit engaged. Without it, it can sound a little thin and tinny. The amp even has a phono section. BTW, the real RMS power specification is 85 watts per channel @ 8 ohms. Highly recommended.

  • Is this receiver compatible with a pair of Bose 901 Series VI speakers which require a Preamp Out / Main Out” and “Preamp In / Main In or a Tape Loop? Thanks Garry...

    I wanted to use my SweetVinyl SugarCube SC-1 Mini magnetic cartridge turntable noise reduction device which needs the same inputs and outputs you require. After a few hours of trying every hookup I could imagine, my answer is no to your question. I have old Bose 901's and the EQ so I am very familiar with the scenario you have in mind. Sorry!
