The A-S2200 is an integrated amplifier with phono stage from Yamaha, built with a sophisticated current-sensing phono design and an exceptional damping factor. The A-S2200 brings Yamaha's more accomplished current engineering to a substantial integrated chassis.
Key specs that matter
Input impedance is a substantial 100,000 ohms balanced or 47,000 ohms single-ended. The phono stage uses a sophisticated current-sensing design covering both MM at 47,000 ohms and MC at 50 ohms input impedance. Output power is 90W into 8 ohms, rising to 150W into 4 ohms. Frequency response spans a wide 5Hz to 100,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is an exceptional 114dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.02%. Damping factor exceeds an extraordinary 250. At 435 x 157 x 463mm and 22.7kg, the A-S2200 represents a substantial integrated amplifier commitment reflecting Yamaha's more accomplished current engineering.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, tightly controlled amplification reflecting the extraordinary over-250 damping factor combined with the exceptional 114dB signal-to-noise figure, with the sophisticated current-sensing phono stage handling both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges without a separate step-up device.
Pairing
The current-sensing phono stage handles both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges directly without needing a separate step-up transformer.
Alternatives
Yamaha's own A-S3200 offers Yamaha's absolute current flagship alternative within the same broader A-S catalogue.
