I would not recommend putting a CD player on top of an amp. The matching CD-S1000 (and up) are physically large enough for the player to go UNDER the amp. Maybe get a rack / cabinet(?)
Might think of checking out this one as my next amp. Only problem is then I have the drama of working out what DAC or streamer to choose from of the hundreds out there.
Normally, I recommend the standard "FRONT" RCA output, but the RX-A6a supports balanced pre-out as well. If your power amp can run Balanced, these should be a better connection
Nice amp. Have you tried the headphones out and does it sound good or just okay? I've heard the headphones out on the A-S1200 isn't very good. I listen to my music 95% of the time with headphones not to bother my neighbors and my other half. I'd rather not have to buy a separate headphone amp. It's fun to have the amp's signature straight out of the headphones out. Thank you!
Hi thebestoffools - The headphone output is not stunning, but good. If you listen that much to headphones, maybe a smaller amplifier and spend the difference on superb and dedicated headphone amplifier
I have this amplifier, paired with a Yamaha C-D2100 and wharfdale Linton 85 anniversary edition speakers, Sounds beautiful.
Great - Enjoy
just curious, are jumpers needed for pre out main in ?
No. They engage / disengage when you make a connection
@@TLPCHC ahhh ok nice ,thanks
Nice review! This Yamaha have a subwoofer pre out? Thank you!
It has a stereo pre-out that is perfect for a subwoofer. (note: Often manufacturers just lable a pre-out as a Sub out to imply a wider feature set)
@@TLPCHC Thank you! 😊
Great review of the box / packaging. Would have been nice to have had a review of how it sounded.
This is an unboxing channel. Please find a retailer to go in and listen to it.
I bought a black one 3 weeks ago. Fantastic sound and build quality. I have maybe used it for 100 hours and I love it.
Superb. Enjoy
Can we place cd player on this amp coz it’s ventilation grail on top

The NAD / BlueSound NODE is amazing.
This works good with Audiovector qr5 speaker?
Yes - I think it will work well.
As 1200 or 2200.whice different?
The 2200 is fully balanced, and better dynamic range
Thank you very much.
Witch pre out on my Yamaha av receiver do I use to connect to the main in on Yamaha as 2200 @TLPCHC

@@TLPCHC Yah, that's what I figured. I'll keep my Sansui AU-6600 and get a good headphone amp. Thanks for your reply. Cheers.
