Review: Good product but lacks bluetooth - Not bad
Review: YAMAHA A-S801 - I just love it I have used it for two weeks so glad I got it in silver. I’ve got a project tube phono box I use for vinyl and my cheap cd player has never sounded this good. I plug my iPad into the usb and I think it has a cleaner sound than my cd player. It shipped the same day I bought it & it came double boxed. Great price and great seller. Thanks

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why usually a stereo amplifier costs more than a stereo receiver with much more options and similar spec?**
A: Right now, Amazon has the RS500 for about $200 less than the AS501. Given the similar model designations, you might think the "RS" designator is the receiver version of this integrated. However, dig into the specs, and you'll see it's not the case. This unit has higher RMS power (85 W vs 75W), lower distortion (0.019 vs 0.04), and specs like peak power, SNR, and freq response are not provided for the receiver (presumably because they're not worth noting). You also need to look at how power is calculated. Manufacturers are notorious for cheating AV receiver specs by reporting power over very narrow bandwidths (sometimes just a single freq!) whereas the power for this integrated unit is over the entire usable bandwidth. So, in short, the specs are not identical.

**Q: Do these amps have a quality headphone amplifier that would be able to properly drive headphones with a somewhat high impedance? Ex. Sennheiser HD 650**
A: The headphone jack is connected through a voltage divider to the output of the power amp and its impedance is about 450 ohms. This guarantees that HD650 will have a bump in the vicinity of 100 Hz, the headphones’ resonance frequency, which will be hard to correct with the amplifier’s bass control. For headphones, I have a separate DAC/Amp pair (Topping D30 and JDS Atom).

**Q: Does the Yamaha A-S501 have a pre-amp out? If not, can one of its two recorder-outputs be used in lieu of a pre-amp out?**
A: The above answers are somewhat confusing, here's a straight forward answer : IF the external amp is a 'power amplifier', the answer is NO, you cannot use the rec out output as a preamplifier.   Power amps always output at the rated power, say 300 watts rms.  You will blow yr speakers.  Examples of power amps would be the Crown XLS and the Benchmark AHB2.  They have no controls, and you need a true preamp to use them.  Not this unit.  Now, if the external amp is a 'variable amplifier', the answer is YES, you can use the rec out as a makeshift preamplifier.  Variable amps always have a volume knob, or control, which, of course, controls the power of the amp.  A good example of this would be the Topping LA90, one of the best made.  Keep in mind that if you decide to use the rec out output, you will bypass the tone controls and volume of the integrated amp.  And yes, the phono input and selector switch will work just fine, no worries.  Finally, the AS501 is a splendid unit, why use an external amp at all?  If you need more power, simply buy the 701 or 801 and sell that external amp!  Anyway, hope this helps.

**Q: Are the knobs plastic or metal?**
A: All knobs are plastic. I own this unit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ YAMAHA A-S801
*by A***R on 5 April 2025*

I just love it I have used it for two weeks so glad I got it in silver. I’ve got a project tube phono box I use for vinyl and my cheap cd player has never sounded this good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean natural power.
*by S***R on 4 February 2026*

What a great piece of gear this is, I retired a long in the tooth Jolida tube amp in desperate need of a full recap for this. No hum or distortion out of this unit, just puer smooth power. Pushes the Polk XT70s beautifully. Also rear B+W bookshelf speakers and never breaks a sweat. No cooling fan required. Im Running it through a Yamaha EQ70 equalizer. And it just pushes clean quiet power. The amp functions flawlessly, with a soft mute feature. When a LP is done press mute, the volume lowers to a just audable level, push it again when your ready and it slowly ramps up to the previous preset level. There is no blutooth but thats an easy fix for 20 to 30 dollars buy a add on box and plug it in. Overall value is very good on this. You get a lot of head space for your buck. Im Running Polk XT70s and B and W 603s all 8ohms ,the rear swith set to high power, and this amp is 100% clean, powerfull and dosent even flinch or get warm.
