Description
A large toroidal transformer has been used in the A-S3200 in the pursuit of pure musicality. With less flux leakage there is no negative impact on other sensitive audio circuits. Copper wire is directly drawn from the winded core, minimizing energy loss compared to other substitutes, allowing the full emotional energy in the music to be felt by the listener.
Acknowledged for their musical performance and use in high-end home audio products, high-quality capacitors were selected, delivering an authentically musical sound.
Following an intensive forging process, the PC-Triple C speaker wire has an inherently more linear structure, allowing for smoother signal transmission to more accurately present the original musical recording.
The phono amp is comprised of an MC head amp and an equalizer amp – each of which are discretely configured resulting in a rich sound with pronounced musicality when playing vinyl records with both MC and MM phono cartridges.

Jay –
After pining for the A-S3200 in black I decided to bite the bullet and blow a small fortune (for me at least) and that is how I ended up contacting Premium Sound.
Long story short, they hunted high & low for a black version but none could be found. Apparently Yamaha stated that they had none left in black in all of Europe & Asia!
I was gutted as all my other gear is black and the silver would stick out like a sore thumb but hey ho, I wanted the amp so silver it had to be.
Many thanks to Alex & the team for arranging everything, including pointing out Yamaha’s £500 cashback scheme which I was ignorant of.
Now I await someone to install it for me and everything will be rosy.
