Your experience as Yamamoto owner?

Hello.

I'm interested in Yamamoto amps, likely the 45-based A-08S or the 2A3 A-011. There is very little info I found here and elsewhere online about these amps, and asking Yamamoto thru e-mail I have gotten no answer. Makes me wonder what to expect in terms of post sales service if I don't even get an answer when asking towards a sale?

So wondering what's the experience of the owners out there? Do you contact Yamamoto or someone else?

Anyone knows where to find user manuals online? Specifically I need to understand what kind of speaker impedance these are designed for, as there is only one set of speaker outputs. Or maybe there are different taps internally for different impedances and one can manually set it?

Thank you!

I do not think the owner/designer of Yamamoto Japan speaks or writes much English ... that said the company SHOULD forward messages to a distributor or have someone at the main office who does speak English.

I had owned an A08s for a period but it really did not have enough power for my speakers at the time. BEAUTIFUL build and sound within its limits though. Would not be a difficult amp to repair by any competent repair shop specializing in tube gear ... simple and straightforward layout on all parts
