After sitting in my dealers Demo room for an hour I could not split the AS2000 and the R-N1000A when it comes to quality of sound yet there must be a good 600 bucks of a difference. Admittedly we were using a pair of mid to high range of Speakers but in certain areas the R-N1000A shone through so I bought it for 1700 bucks. The consensus is that I am very happy with it, I have listened to the same songs (And many of them) for 30 years now, This Yamaha Amp brings out a very clear detail and with the possibility of you hearing an instrument you never heard before on your favourite tracks. Great demo and I'm sure many of us have bought Yamaha as a result of your great presentation.

Very good and detailed video... Thank you!! OK, besides the meters and the VERY high quality of build/materials used on the RN-2000A, is the additional $2000 plus over the RN-1000A in your opinion worth it? Yes, I like good sounding audio equipment, but being retired, my dollars are limited. I am hoping to replace my current "Mid-Fi" Yamaha A-S801 amp. My biggest grip about the A-S801 is the phono section which basically sucks IMHO. I really like that both the RN-1000A and RN-2000A have an HDMI connection. On a side note, the only gripe I have with either of these receivers is that they do not have a processor loop or a tape monitor/record out function. Other than that, they are perfect! I know that YPAO act pretty much as an EQ, but having a vinyl collection from the 1970s and 1980s, with some records not recorded perfectly, but I feel that a "lightly" used DBX 3 band range expander could help out these LPs. Other than that, Yamaha has hit another home run with these modern receivers, which isn't surprising, and I have been a Yamaha Fanboy since 1987 after buying their RX-1100 receiver!!

I am a Yamaha kind of guy. Yamaha have a knack of hitting the performance/price sweetspot and sound great. This new device looks awesome. However where the N series devices fall down is Yamaha's software environment, Music cast. Its awful. So much so that when NAD released the M10 admittedly at a different price point, I dived in. Their BluOS environment is a way better experience and with DIRAC there was no going back. The sound was a step up as well, but it was really bought to access all the music. I still have a Yamaha N series system in my office, but its just driven from Spotify. Sounds awesome but its hard work to access all the music compared to BluOS. Sorry Yamaha, until you sort out Music cast I'm afraid you've lost me.

Ron, the real comparison on both sound quality and value is to Review how a Yamaha AS-801, paired with something like an EverSolo Media Player compares.

The AS801 in pure direct mode on all material is one of the best sounding Amplifiers under 3 grand. With all The features of the EverSolo the combo is a steal!

I'm probably in the minority here but I think the R-N1000A sounds better with YPAO turned off. Sounds more natural. I'm not sure if the built in DAC is holding it back or not? I say that because I don't remember hearing such a stark contrast with YPAO on and off when the more expensive R-N2000A was demonstrated. In fact, I preferred YPAO on in many cases with the R-N2000A . My guess is the R-N1000A is just using a cheaper DAC. Anyway, I thought the R-N1000A sounded excellent otherwise.

I noticed you had a slight downward slope in the reference and YPAO tried to straighten the curve and provide a flat response. I have a Denon 4800h and Audyssey is doing the same thing and guitars and voices just sound so different than my Marantz that has the old Audyssey - I can listen to it but once I play the same songs on the Marantz, I feel like I need to run out and buy a few more guitars. Clearly, the Marantz sound is not straight but it sounds so alive compared to the Denon 4800h. Is a flat curve a good thing? Are all frequencies created equal? I was looking at a chart and 100hz-1000hz is where all the fundamentals for vocals and instruments are. While I appreciate the egalitarian, dare I say, Marxist views of new versions of Audyssey, my ears are definitely happier with real sounding guitars and voices that don't all sound the same. I'd gladly try a downward slope with emphasis on the 100-1000hz range or even another slope and they are a pain to create for mere mortals. Which brings us to the following question but before I head into that - thank you so much for showing the treble and bass effects and measuring them. It was very enlightening. Why aren't there midrange controls? My dad's Sansui 8080db had them and given the importance of the midrange, they all should have them.

I recently upgraded to this amp from an audiolab 6000a and thought I’d give my early thoughts, so, my main reason for upgrading was 2 reasons - power and also, tone controls ok 3 and streaming other than Bluetooth. Ron I agree, the phono stage isn’t great, the phono stage in my 6000a was better and louder, however as I intend to get a manii 2 this isn’t a deal breaker as external is mostly always better regardless. Tone controls, this is a big plus for me, comparing it to a audiolab product I feel the ‘air’ In the soundstage probably isn’t quite as open and large, however there is a lot more heft to the overall tone of the music compared to the audiolab, which to me is the toss up id rather have, functionality is great on the amp as you said for the money, this has all the features, one feature I specifically love is that you can turn up the dynamic range between sources, so it used to really bug me that when I switched to the tv from records etc it was vastly more quiet, however with this amp it doesn’t matter as you can match the sound level when swapping sources! Yet to try ypao but so far I’m very happy with the amp, need to get through the 140 page instructions still! But it’s great to hear there’s not that much a difference from the 2000a as that was a thought I had! only issue I had that Yamaha need to look at is the power cord that came with mine was very loose, so I stuck with my audiolab one.

But I do think it was a worthy upgrade, I had a toss up between this and the new technics but the wattage on that really worried me, but I would recommend finding the manual online because that explains all the features more than even their website explains.

I have a Yamaha A-S701.. How much of an improvement in sound quality would you get from the R-N1000A? Could anyone recommend me a good amp that can surpass the A-S701?

I asked this question in your Yamaha NS2000A speaker video, which speakers did you prefer between these, and the Q Acoustics Concept 50 ?
@Newrecordday2013 Жыл бұрын
I think a more fair comparison is the NS2000A vs the Concept 500s. In that example, I’d personally take the Concept.

A really good Comparison and the 1000 is a very interesting offer. Are there more stereo amplifiers from different brands with build in room correction? A difference between YPAO on and off is barely audible and with out the room not very usefull. 🙂 But the difference between the 1000 and the 2000 is audible very well.The character of sound is similar but the stereo separation of the 2000 is much wider. If this is really in the recording or if there are other reasons for this difference I can´t say.

R-N2000A it's amazing. How the lowly precision and feeling. But price 2000 is 2 or 3x more than 1000.

This is pretty cool and I own a Yamaha HT receiver but I'm struggling to see how this is $1400 better than the Marantz NV1200. Its input/outputs are essentially identical. Both can be turned into pre-amps and you can easily bypass the DAC and phono stage. But for $412 for the NV1200, I could get far better external phono stage and DAC and still come in a lot less. Am I missing something? I can see an increase in cost due to the power output but not 3 times as much cost.

Well here's what is different, build quality for one. Last summer music direct was running a special on marantz products and I thought it would be pretty cool to have the NR 1200 so I bought one. The first one I got the left speaker outputs would not work at all, and the second one I got would not connect to the internet at all, the third one I got worked however for whatever reason randomly The sound coming out of the speakers would be really tinny and garbled. So yeah the marantz might be cheaper but I'd rather have the Yamaha.

@@Audiorevue I get that it can be better overall but what I don't get from the review and the specs is it costs more than 4 NR1200s combined. I also get that you got a bad one. I got a bad Pioneer Elite AVR once. Overall, looking at the reviews on multiple platforms, I don't see a systemic problem with the NR1200. Both units have the same warranty. If this unit was just twice as much as the Marantz I could see it but $1800 is tipping into the area of used audiophile-level stuff.

Have you ever listened to the marantz 1200? I think one would have to before drawing any conclusions. I compared the 1711 to the Yamaha s801. different specs. Similar price. It was no contest but not just the sound and the power. It just operated so much more smoothly.

@@lsaideOK I haven't listened to that particular model. I've owned several Marantz receivers. Both vintage and newer. I don't live in a part of the country where an audition is possible. I'm mostly interested in the eARC input as this will be the core of a soundbar replacement system that's 2-channel or 2.1. With the 1200 I can run a turntable too. I currently have a 7.1 system upstairs on a Yamaha RX-A750. The Yamaha sounds nice but it's never pulled me like the Marantz or Pioneer Elite sounds.

If you buy going by specs, its almost a guaranteed fail. To start with, manufacturers don't have to adhere to any guidelines with regards to measuring audio equipment. Each company does it however they see fit. That means if you take 2 amps, from 2 different manufacturers, with the same or very similar specs, and measure them both the same way, they will different. How much different needs to be determined on a case by case basis. What's even more important is we can't measure everything. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying, or they have no idea what they're talking about. For me personally, I judge audio equipment based heavily on how it reproduces the natural timbre of instruments and vocals. There's no way to measure something like that. Maybe in the future, but right now, we're not even close. Its like food. If you list the specs on a McDonalds hamburger and compared it to the competitions hamburgers with the same specs, there can be huge differences in how they taste. We can't measure taste. Reviews and specs are supposed to be used as aids. They help you make the right choice, but they should never be used to buy components without listening to them first. The only way to fairly judge a piece of audio equipment is to use it in its intended application. You're the only one who has to listen to it. Is it a pain in the ass to do it this way? Absolutely. But you wouldn't buy a car without test driving it first, or buy clothes without trying them. It's just something you have to do.

Actualy THE biggest sound difference are in speakers and how acousticaly friendly your listening room behaves, i ' m a old hifi-nut and owned all kind of amp and speakers, amongst them NAD, MISSION CYRUS, KENWOOD, and their secret expensive causin Accuphase, and now finaly after al those years listening to a 130 bucks costing Hybrid TUBE AMP.... and this durt cheap Amp Sound soooo good. So toe each his own ,but folks save yourself some frustration AND money, there are lots of good sounding amps on the market today other than yamaha with a almost unnotible EQ bui ld in.

Yamaha amps have a certain sound to them , and these sound clips actually captured that even through the KZbin compression. I usually skip the sound clips because they they tell me nothing. I am glad I didn't this time. Good job Ron. I disagree though that it sounds almost as good as the R-N2000A The midrange seems veiled and less separated compared to the big dog.

Listening through an 27" iMac, so take this with a huge grain of salt. The N2000 sounded smoother, more refined. The N1000 was more raw and granular. The N1000 could be perceived as more defined and articulate, but I think not. I am looking at the N1000 as a garage receiver. After hearing this, I would prefer the N2000, but it is hard to justify that price difference, considering what it will be used for.

You didn’t specify your source (digital/phono), Ron. Digital sources are all guilty of soundstage flatness to some degree. My bet is that a primo phono preamp played through this would yield good results. The amp designs are both “sound”, though neither is an A-S2200. Edit: I just remembered that there is a strong chance that all inputs in both of these are digitized. That is something I’d like to see verified. If so, even the world’s “best” phono preamp might come across as flat sounding on them. At any rate, I like the Yamaha sound. I do not prefer detail as it is ruthless on poor recordings. I couple mine with an equally “warm” pair of Buchardt speakers and am loving it.
