A unique, personal story an artist wishes to share. Understanding how music is created, and indeed helping artists to create, embeds in Yamaha’s DNA a fundamental understanding of music, particularly the emotion upon which music creation is inspired. In the development of each of our extensive range of Hi-Fi products, conveying this emotion to the listener is one of the most important considerations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToroidal Transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003elarge 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, while the 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Quality Component Selection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcknowledged for their musical performance and use in high-end home audio products, high-quality capacitors were selected, delivering an authentically musical sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOPENNESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic, pure Hi-Fi is less about listening to brilliant sounding equipment and more about that equipment disappearing and the artist performing live in the room. The openness of the music, that feeling of being within reach of the artist, brings the music to the fore, and makes listening to music an active rather than passive experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThick Wires for Ground Connection by Low Impedance Concept\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdopting low impedance design concept minimizes both energy loss while maintaining absolute integrity in the audio signal.

Delivering impressively low signal-to-noise ratio ensures those gaps in the music, the silence upon which the artist engages the listener into the music, waiting for the next movement, are exactly that – silence. The design also adds to improved channel separation producing a sound stage that almost makes the entire system disappear, giving the listener the feeling of being in the room with the artist, not the CD or vinyl source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGROOVE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeeling the music.

The Mechanical Ground Concept achieves this expressive and rhythmic bass by maximising rigidity and reducing any unwanted vibration. The large power transformer, block capacitors and heat sink are directly bolted to the chassis delivering greater rigidity, while the feet, with bolts directly welded to the main chassis, provide further reinforcement for absolute rigidity. The A-S3200 has an original Rigid Streamlined Construction that further suppresses vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Plating Brass Feet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompleting the rigidity of the amplifier are the heavy-duty brass feet used with either spikes or the scratch-resistant base for delicate surfaces, originally engineered exclusively for the flagship M\/C-5000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated phono amp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":51842064089374,"sku":"YA-AS3200BBG","price":11295.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":51842064122142,"sku":"YA-AS3200S","price":11295.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3755\/9070\/files\/Yamaha-A-S3200-Black-Front-The-Listening-Post.webp?v=1778753135","url":"https:\/\/www.magnumsound.nz\/products\/yamaha-a-s3200-2ch-100-100-w-8-class-a-b-high-end","provider":"Magnum Sound and Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
