Great sound, fiscal responsibility
Getting the most out of a budget is a popular topic, whether you're a national leader or the household planner. That's why anyone with a taste for the good things in life and a head for numbers that make sense will be delighted by the A-S300 integrated amplifier from Yamaha. Great sound, iPod® compatibility and a turntable input, without getting a divot in your wallet? That's a formula for happiness.
The Yamaha A-S300 integrated amplifier handles many of your favorite components and media players
Straightforward yet capable
Don't let the A-S300's simple, straightforward design fool you. Survey the sleek aluminum front panel and note the reassuring silky feel of the volume and selector knobs. The build quality is evident from fingertip examination forward. Each individual part has been carefully crafted to work with all of the others in the unit to one aim: honest, engaging sound quality. For the most accurate sound, "Pure Direct" mode allows you to route your signals via the shortest distance through the unit, bypassing the buffer amp, balance, loudness and tone controls, leaving only the unaltered signal to travel to the amplifier output.
The A-S300 welcomes iPods through Yamaha's optional YID-W10 and YDS-12 docks. These docks host independent power supplies, and their interfaces to the A-S300 are balanced, so that operating current variations won't affect the amplifier's signal.
An included remote, slim and easy to handle, keeps all the features of this versatile integrated amp right at your fingertips.
