YAMAHA A-S3200

Description

OPENNESS
Authentic, pure Hi-Fi is less about listening to brilliant sounding equipment and more about that equipment disappearing and the artist performing live in the room. The openness of the music, that feeling of reaching the artist, puts the music in the foreground, and makes listening to music an active, not a passive, experience.

MUSICAL EXPRESSION WITHOUT COATING
The A-S3200 pays tribute to Yamaha's unparalleled musical history while embodying the latest hi-fi innovations.

An expressive, dynamic instrument that effortlessly delivers music with all its emotions.

Toroidal transformer
a large toroidal transformer was used in the A-S3200 in pursuit of pure musicality. With less current leakage, there is no negative impact on other sensitive audio circuits, while the copper wire is drawn directly from the wound core, reducing energy loss compared to other replacements, allowing the listener to feel the full emotional energy in the music.

Dedicated phono amplifier
The phono amplifier consists of an MC main amplifier and an equalization amplifier - each discretely configured to result in a rich sound with pronounced musicality when playing vinyl records with MC and MM turntables.

Selection of high quality components
Recognized for their musical performance and use in premium home audio products, high-quality capacitors have been selected to deliver authentic musical sound.

After an intensive forging process, PC-Triple C speaker wire has an inherently more linear structure, allowing for smoother signal transmission for a more accurate presentation of the original music recording.

Thick ground wires according to the low impedance concept
By adopting a low-impedance design concept, energy loss is minimized while maintaining the absolute integrity of the audio signal. Preserving the original sound results in an open, natural soundstage, bringing the listener and the artist together.

Brass screws and copper terminal block capacitor
The use of brass screws and gold-plated oxygen-free copper terminals for the large block capacitors contribute to superior connectivity, excellently providing the additional headroom available in the four large 22,000 μF capacitors to produce an open soundstage.

Fully balanced circuit from speaker input to output
The fully balanced circuitry used in the A-S3200 provides numerous listening benefits. Delivering an impressively low signal-to-noise ratio ensures that the gaps in the music, the silence where the artist draws the listener into the music, waiting for the next movement, are just that – silence. The design also contributes to improved channel separation, creating a soundstage from which the entire system almost disappears, giving the listener the feeling of being in the room with the artist rather than a CD or vinyl source.

The concept of mechanical grounding
The expression of deep, rhythmic and melodic bass creates a feeling from music, a story about music. The Mechanical Ground Concept achieves this expressive and rhythmic bass by maximizing stiffness and reducing unwanted vibrations. The large power transformer, block capacitors and heatsink are directly bolted to the chassis giving greater rigidity, while the legs, bolted directly to the main chassis, provide additional reinforcement for absolute rigidity. The A-S3200 has an original rigid aerodynamic construction that additionally suppresses vibrations.
