This is my personal amp.

Owned from new and has the original remote control and instructions but no original box. From a smoke and pet free environment.

I'm selling due to ever changing hearing loss (especially recently) so I have another amp that suits me better (for now). This is from my 3rd system and I'm starting the declutter.

This award winning amp sounds amazing with plenty of power on tap and able to drive my speakers (Monitor Audio S8) with ease and control. I switched it to a 3rd system with bookshelf speakers and a tiny subwoofer. Sounds immense.

Highly flexible inputs including;
- A rather nice phono stage
- Defeatable tone controls
- Subwoofer output.
- Gold plated inputs for the phono and CD.
- 85 WPC
- Able to run another pair of speakers......

Please see the pictures. It's immaculate.

I can box it for postage (at buyers expense) but prefer collection so I can demo. Failing that, I can send a personalised video demo via Whatapp for reassurance.

£130 collected from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire (B61)

I'm shocked this hasn't been snapped up, what a stone cold bargain!!

I choose one of these over the equivalent Marantz amongst others at the time, trading the warmth of the Marantz for outstanding PRaT at its price level.

Anyone looking for a starter amp or something for a second system will struggle to find anything better at this money.

I had an A-S501 and loved my time with it. Yamaha don't make poor products and tend to spec above the competition like Sony. The Loudness function is great with this amp as when defeated, it allows the volume to be increased much higher than normal and then it was dad dancing time.

Thanks @Mowgli and @TIU
Owners perspective is important and welcome.

Yes, this amp majors on PRaT. It's very similar to how my Exposure 2010 presented.

For clarity, I'm happy to package up. I will take photos of each process for the buyers confidence.

BUT the buyer must arrange their own courier to collect. That way, if there is any reason for an insurance claim it would be easier.

So collection and demo, or a WhatsApp demo video if couriered.

Hope that helps.

This is an absolutely bargain price for a well respected amplifier. If only I had the space to accommodate it, but I've already got 5 amps in the house.
Buy from AnilS with confidence. Last item I had from him was immaculate.

Certainly is AnilS. My cousin was extremely pleased with the MiniDisc player. Used nearly every day down at the dance studio.👍
