Denon PMA-A110 110 Anniversary Edition
Good point and well said. People don't realize the resources that Yamaha & Denon both have for R&D as well as years of experience. I have seen, owned and heard many of the boutique brands that simply can not compete with these amplifiers. ... 
Denon PMA-A110 110 Anniversary Edition
I own both the Yamaha A-S2200 and the Denon PMA-110. Both are excellent amplifiers but I am beginning to tip my hat to Denon. The 110 equals the Yamaha A-S3200 in sound quality yet can be had for less. The build quality is every bit as good if not... 
cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl.
I owned numerous Nakamichi decks and used the MR1 to record a few master recordings. Technology has transcended cassettes long ago. My biggest complaint about cassette decks and especially Nakamichi is the poor reliability. I recall sending mine M... 
New Yamaha a-s3000 and a-s2100 integrated amps ??
Why do audiophile always perceive different as better? This is the case with both the A-S2000 and the 2100. Both are very fine but with slightly different sounds. The A-S2000 is far better based on it's current used market price. They are much mor... 
Review: Yamaha A S-2000 Amplifier
The A-S2000 is currently a best buy on the used market and a legendary performer. Though Yamaha has released newer and more expensive versions of this amp with view meters the differences don't justify the huge cost increase over the A-S2000. I ha... 
Review: Anthem 225 Integrated Amplifier
The Anthem is a very fine all rounder but on the current market you can pick up the Yamaha A-S2000 for a similar price and the A-S2000 destroys the Anthem in terms of sonic refinement as well as superior buiild. The A-S2000 is an unbeatable amplif... 
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new
All are speculative at best. Every ear is different. I am a classical musician and performing artist. He who eats less cheese hears best. I own the auditor m and they reveal the honest sound of my instruments as well as any top level monitor you c... 
Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good?
At the current prices available for the A-S2000 if you can fine one I would snap it up. The best built and sounding amp at it's current price by a landslide. A real audiophile amp that compares impressively with the snobbiest small brands. Don't l... 
Apt-Holman pre-amp
I have enjoyed all of the excellent feedback on the apt pre amp. I can agree with the utilitatian qualities of the apt and must also agree with the fact that it is obviously been outgunned by technology. I still think it is not a bad piece for $22... 
Apt-Holman pre-amp
The auxiliary section of the apt holman is as excellent as any I have heard labeled specifically for CD. I actually did a side by side comparison with a couple of high end hybrids and liked the clarity of the apt. I currently have a holman for sal...
