Yamaha Stereo Amp

The Pyle PTA2 Mini 2X40W Stereo Power Amp is the perfect amp for the stereo minimalist. This amp, a good turntable and nice speakers will provide the perfect retro vinyl album experience. Try it and enjoy, it's 1969 again!

I've spent big bucks on a Yamaha amps over the years....not any more. This amp has the power without the price. Just remember for residential use, you will need an adapter.

Perfect stereo amp for my ol' Bose 301 Series II.

My 40 year old Sony amp needed a rest. I found this Yamaha and so far I am very happy with it. It does not have an AC outlet in the back which means my graphic equalizer stays on all the time. But otherwise, the controls are smooth and the sound is strong and clean.

Paired with a Yamaha A-S501 integrated pre amp WOW The base is supurb even without a sub. The mids are clear. And the highs are sharp. Great job Klipsch

After watching the review from Audioholics, I knew I was buying the best amp. This is an integrated amplifier...meaning it has a preamp and power amp in the same unit. There is no tuner (receiver). You can connect a turntable, tuner, and CD. It also has an optical and coax inputs but the coolest thing is the USB input. I ran a 20 ft USB cable to my Mac. There are instructions to download and install a USB driver which was easy. So here's the cool part. You change the sound preferences in your computer to the newly installed USB driver. On the Yamaha, press the Pure Direct button. Back on your computer, fire up iTunes and enjoy. This USB/Pure Direct configuration bypasses the computers sound card and plays the music as the sound engineer intended. I have the sample rate for the USB drive set to 48kHz (via the Audio MIDI) which is the most common frequency used by sound engineers. The Yamaha supports two sets of speakers. I have four beefy JBL's connected with a big Polk sub-woofer. The sound is crystal clear.

I wish this was available 12 years ago when I purchased my current Yamaha RX-V863. It fits perfectly on top of it. I have a rear vented cabinet with a glass front door. The cooling is great. An example: Ive had it 2 weeks and forgot to turn it on yesterday letting the top of my A/V receiver get to 108°F. Within 5 minutes in the Auto mode the temperature dropped to 98°F. It took 20 minutes to reach the programed 84°F with my ambient temperature of 77°F. I didn't have the amp volume up very high. This unit is a must to help elongate the service life of your investment. And yes, it's quiet even with all 3 fans running. If you had your volume very low then perhaps you would notice it slghtly. This is a perfect solution as compared to my diy usb 4 inch fan that looked ugly next to my amp.

I recently upgraded my amp from an internet-ready amp to this Yamaha A-S801 and I couldn't be happier. This Yamaha is a very simple 2-channel stereo amp but it delivers the music back to the artists' intention to give the audiences the pleasure of listening their music collection over and over again. The previous internet-ready amp (before this Yamaha A-S801 amp) was purchased to replace a 20 year old JVC 100 watts amp (a great amp but decided to retired after 20 years of service), I bought an 85 watts amp with a lot of features, but it does not deliver the quality of the music that I am looking for, I don't like to turn on the volume loud to hear my music, but I have to turn the volume up on this 85 watts amp and yet it does not deliver the clarity of the music that I wanted to hear. This Yamaha A-S801 amp certainly delivers and I am glad that I did.

Needed an amplifier to run some older speakers for the TV.  I tried to use an old Yamaha integrated amp that had issues and would cost more to fix than the new cost of the PTA4.  Purchased the Pyle Pro PTA4 and could not be more pleased. KF in Richmond
