Hi, are you satisfied how Yamaha RN1000a match with KEF LS50 meta? I am thinking to buy Yamaha RN1000a and pair with KEF LS50 meta speakers but I couldn't find any additional information how they match together. If you can share your experience I would appreciate.

You don’t want bulbs to warming up every time you are going to listen a couple of your beloved Pink Floyd tracks.

you got to pay more for that

@@Bas1lio , LED lights give off very little to no heat.

Same here!

numbers say it all

@@iikatinggangsengii2471 context with numbers says it all, otherwise you can cherry pick any big numbers and go, look, big number = better, just no

When you compare it to everything else in today’s days in age where everything is overpriced you can not deny the fact that you are getting insane value compared to anything on the market in its caliber range.

Buuuut I’m sure the quality isn’t their like it used to be

I agree. If you want a stripped down version of this amp look at the 801. Basically the same thing without streamer. You can get them for under $1000. You can't beat that.

@@charlesking678 I bought a pioneer

Its not hard for the average hobby to consume $5,000 Drones, radio controlled whatever, motorcycle, automotive, boating, So it's affordable. Where it stops being affordable is running the idea past the minister of war and finance.

Hello,how do you like your 800? I own rn303d but looking to sale it. Would the 800 be an upgrade?

Im feeling the same way. Im thinking to grab a linton bundle with this amp. But this whole purchase got blown way out of proportion. I still have my old yamaha reciever, I was just planning to get wharfedale evos

Look at an SVS setup. They make very solid speakers at reasonable prices, especially their subwoofers. Maybe SVS Prime Bookshelf with the SB-1000 sub. You would not be disappointed.

Also pleased with the 803D. Interesting that the rated RMS power for the 803D is given at 0.019% THD, the N1000A states 0.07% Not saying that the average listener would notice any difference, but it’s odd.

I agree. A DAC should never be built into an integrated amp or receiver.

can't you just use a seperate dac and connect with rca

Slippery slope butterfly effect. Where do you stop with such logic. Analog and digital circuitry should never be powered by the same power supplies. A phono stage should never be built in. A power amp should never be built in. Etc. And yes, if you want a new DAC because the internal one "becomes obsolete" and you feel the need to specifically upgrade that particular component over ever other thing in your entire system for what ever reason, then sure, just plug a different one in via RCA.

hey there, what have you found? I have the 7000A and I am curious about the differences.

@@Mullster Sorry - could not find a place to listen to the yamaha just yet.

I heard the treble hash using the built in streamer. Went away with the rose. As for bass, it’s more neutral and natural than bass heavy. Comparing it to the same cost CHoco EMEI, the CHoco has a much warmer sound, but it’s just an amp, no features. This is for those who just want everything in one box, and are not looking for “ultimate” quality. Being able to buy at $1200 is a steal. I’m listening right now, still in the system.My other amps are better, yes. Without question. They either cost much much more or lack any features. This isn’t a no compromise piece. Still, for those who have this level of budget it’s fantastic.

run it in 2.1 with a sub using the dedicated subwoofer output

The 1000 has a bit higher quality components inside, as well as a stiffer more rigid chassis for better sonic characteristics. I’m going with the 1000👍🏻

thanks for the imput @@JR-ho5qm

Agree. The only difference I find is the 1000 has the HDMI input which I also don't need. I'm going with the 800.

My system has absolutely zero noise - negative noise if that could be possible. I did test the U2 with fiber and went back to standard. I think it’s system dependent really. Nice feature to have and future proofs for a few years :)

I'm not expert, but as I understand it a DAC converts the digital signal to analog so your amplifier can then amplify the analog signal. Better DAC better analog signal. I use Spotify on my phone and use Bluetooth to get the music to my receiver. As I understand it, there is a DAC in my phone that converts the digital to analog. So assume whatever you are using would also have a DAC built into it. But a $500 DAC will do a much better job than one built into your phone or streamer. Depends on your system really. I doubt with my system I would hear any difference. But mine is pretty low end.

@nervy152 I care!

a magic unicorn product that doesn't exist then?

$500 Off is what he was saying $1800 - $500 was a sale

want to know that~😆

I’m getting the 2000 tomorrow in silver. It’s $4k vs the $1200 you can get this for. I’m hoping it has a smoother treble and fuller/warmer signature.

I heard the 1000 and 2000 back to back yesterday @@HiFiHuff The 2000 is in another league...

@@HiFiHufflooking forward to direct comparison

Absolutely. Very strong amp.

It has virtually no distortion or noise. And among the best room correction. Objectively it totally transparent.

My home theater has a denon

Who listens to the radio anymore?

@@MisterTwister222 Well since i refuse to stream, i occasionally do listen to the radio, but the point is - a Tuner without a lit up dial? or any indicator at all?

the bottom strip is an OLED. It displays the frequency if the tuner @@ivansbacon

cool story

Get the Buchards first. Then... the... then you will never need to look for any subwofer. The bass will surprise you.

I have the Buchardts, my choice is Buchardts Integrated or Marantz 40N.

I didnt need the sub with the Buchardts.

@@kirkaparty4143 The Marantz 40N is also on my radar, but I don't think it has spotify connect, which I really like with my current Yamaha Receiver. I like being able to just open spotify on my phone and play/control, I think the Marantz you have to go through their app to play spotify?

@@hooekoo9307 Don't get Denon or Marantz these days, I worked HiFi. Biggest returns on receivers and other equipment from these guys, made in the same factory with the same unreliability and manufacturing issues.

Wow 👌

?

Yup, i before e except after. C and sometimes y

​ UNLESS it's German! .😅

I bought the A-S801 and it sounds killer!

Great choice, I bought A-S801 for 570€ and RX-V6A for 440€, so i saved 800€ and ive got R-N1000 with more options in my living room.😊

​@@japan7777777do you hear a difference between the rn1000 and rn800?

I don’t get brightness at all no matter the speaker I use. As stated, when using the internal streamer the high end is a bit harsh. That goes away when using an external streamer, at least for me. I don’t find the amp bright with any of the speakers I tried it with but it is a little lean in the bass, with a bit of a recessed midrange. Harsh highs can bring the impression of brightness, especially depending on speakers. With the little OGY speakers I have in for review now, this amp does the worst with them as these speakers lack low bass and the neutral sound of this amp enhances that. With the Alwxandria Audio monitors the sound is full and leans warm. So I’d say start with speakers, positioning and source. The 2000 arrives today so I look forward to seeing and hearing the difference. I find this to be such a good deal as it was being offered for $1200 and for everything one gets here that’s a steal. Also, this is not in any way an “audiophile” product. This is not for those who are very picky about sound and the like. It’s for those who want a stream, DAC, headphone, amp solution in one attractive box. Sound is great for the cost and features are a plenty. I listened to it with my Hertz ambers and they sounded big, full and with plenty of bass. Going into klipsch heritage the sound is leaner and top end sizzles a bit. So speaker matching is key here I think.

@@HiFiHuff Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback and more enlightened. I'm no audiophile and to be honest, mostly all analogue anyway. I don't have the high-end speakers you speak of. I've been tryin to find something to drive the elac unifi ub52 2.0s which I now find are low efficiency and my cambridge axa35, which is a nice amp, just won't get it done.

@@HiFiHuff oh man, that means you wouldn’t recommend this R-N1000A with a pair of Heresy IVs right? Was looking into this unit a lot.

@5:04 he said it has a built in AM / FM radio

Where's the diaal?@@tyeeslayer

@@gwine9087 nobody said its a vintage receiver with big dial knob.

@@PH-gm2qe I don't mean the knob, I mean the "dial" that shows the station playing.

@@gwine9087 It is on the botto oled display

Yes. ✌️

yup, Class A/B unlike Class D trash for anything besides subwoofers.

LOL

Not anymore unfortunately, on these newer Yamaha receivers they opted out of the tape loops. Now they still have tape ins and outs on their integrated amps but not on these newer receivers.

No :(

@@z.d.m thanks

Well if you listen to airhead music (rock) it would seem that way.

LOL Over a hundred million US adults listen to radio. You're ignorant of the facts.

You could have simply ended your 2nd sentence after ignorant…

because other places besides the US exist

Can get this for $1200 new on Amazon. It’s a steal at this price for what it offers. Can’t compete with $3k and up amps but for $1200 it’s a bargain.

This apple costs $1700 but I can get this orange for $250.

Good thing this isn’t a one trick pony :)

They just sound the best
