dhpeck - If you don't mind let us know how your replacement as3000 works out for you.  Happy New Years 
Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated.......
honeybee2012, I would error on the side of caution and NOT hook an active sub to the terminals of the speaker if that speaker is connected to the AS3000.  From the Yamaha AS3000 Manual:CAUTION Because the power amplif... 
Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated.......
Sorry to hear about your experience with the AS3000.  I have owned this integrated for the last few years and love it but I haven't had the issue you mention (knock on wood).  Good luck with the repair/replacement.  It's a wonderful sounding integ... 
Axpona Shout Outs
I was able to sit in the center front chair in the mega Von Schweikert room and I was blown away.  That being said the Legacy System V around the corner from Von Schweikert was stunningly good at a fraction of the cost.  Even though VS was my best... 
YAMAHA A S-3000 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
Well done!  As a Yamaha AS3000 owner for almost a year and a half I couldn't agree more with your comments.  Spot on.  I wrote a post on this about a year ago and mentioned that when folks suggest a solid state amplifier sounds like tubes I would ... 
Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences?
Skoczylas, unfortunately I do not have any experience with the phono stage in the 3000 nor a table I can use to test.When I first bought the Yamaha I tried both single ended and balanced and preferred balanced.  It wasn't really a fair comparison ... 
Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences?
I have had the Yamaha A-S3000 for two and a half months now and I wanted to report back and post a few comments.  My wife bought me a new Mac mini for my birthday (I'm a lucky guy) and I optimized it for use as a dedicated music server combined wi... 
Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences?
That's great because I love the silver version.Agreed.  There's something really nice about the silver version with the black gloss side panels.  Sound is what really matters but it's a real bonus to have such a nice looking integrated.  I bet the... 
Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences?
As willand mentions above the tone controls of the Yamaha AS3000 are bypassed in main direct mode.  I use my AS3000 primarily for stereo listening with an Hegel HD11 DAC but I do have the left and right preamp channels of my home theatre receiver ... 
Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences?
Arch, where did you purchase yours? I purchased here on Audiogon weekend before last.  Feel free to message me if you have any questions. 
Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences?
I've lived with the Yamaha A-S3000 for about 5 days now and can only say it is a truly special piece.  I see the previous comments about the What HiFi review of the 3000 as I read the same review prior to my purchase.  All I can say is their prefe... 
Yamaha? Welcome back!
In terms of bass, I have owned several class D integrated amps with their characteristics being about speed, tautness and clarity that I thought were ideal, though they always seemed lacking in mid-bass, lower midrange fullness (that's not an exha... 
Yamaha? Welcome back!
I've had a Yamaha as3000 in my system for two days now and it's a pretty amazing integrated.  Was aiming for a 2100 but couldn't resist the 3000 and bought it used.  It's doing the things MOSFET's are good at (smooth, liquid, natural) without some... 
ARC CD 3 Doesn't read disc?
I used to own an ARC CDT-1 transport that had a very similar problem right after I purchased it used as it was very picky which CD's it would play. I used a dry Q-tip and very lightly cleaned the laser lens making sure I didn't leave any strands o... 
Great guys to deal with in the audio industry
Ty Lashbrook with Tyler Acoustics. Nicest guy I have dealt with in audio. Great speakers too.
