Yamaha A-500 and A-520 Thread - Audiokarma Home Audio …
WEBDec 20, 2014 · The A-500 is a nice 70W/8Ω amp. Being a 34yo unit, you could increase these caps' value to new 15,000uF ones, if you want.

Yamaha A-S500 initial review - Audiokarma Home Audio Stereo …
WEBSep 9, 2012 · After much research online I decided to purchase a Yamaha A-S500. The key factors in my decision... 1. 85 watts per channel at 8 ohm. Roughly 100 at the 4 ohms of my Polks. 2.

WEBSuper Member. Aug 14, 2017. #3. Hi, l haven't had the A-520 but l have had it's bigger brother the A-720. They are a good amp with decent transformers and filtering capacitance etc for their rated output. They are probably not quite as well built as the preceding A-500, A-700 etc range. They do suffer from the glue issue and in the best case ...
