Your experience as Yamamoto owner?


Hello.

I'm interested in Yamamoto amps, likely the 45-based A-08S or the 2A3 A-011. There is very little info I found here and elsewhere online about these amps, and asking Yamamoto thru e-mail I have gotten no answer. Makes me wonder what to expect in terms of post sales service if I don't even get an answer when asking towards a sale?

So wondering what's the experience of the owners out there? Do you contact Yamamoto or someone else?

Anyone knows where to find user manuals online? Specifically I need to understand what kind of speaker impedance these are designed for, as there is only one set of speaker outputs. Or maybe there are different taps internally for different impedances and one can manually set it?

Thank you!

I own a very sweet sounding De Java pre amp and I know there amps a also great.
I just saw this thread.  I have the A-011, from Brian at Venus Hi Fi.   I've contacted Yamamoto directly several times.  They have always been very responsive. I use this with Shindo preamp and Devore O/93.  I think it's a nice combo.  I'm planning to try a Shindo Cortese to see what type of improvement I get from a more expensive amp.  I thought it comes 8 ohm standard, but their is a 16 ohm version...not sure
