    Yamaha's A-S2000 dedicated amplifier is a jack of all trades, with balanced and unbalanced inputs, A/B speaker outputs as well as a dedicated headphone circuit.

    • Beautiful retro styling, powerful, versatile, dedicated headphone amp
    • Heavy enough to destroy an A/V rack (but that's a good thing, right?)
