Yamaha M-5000 Power Amplifier
Product Overview
Yamaha M-5000 power amplifier features a patented floating and balanced design that shortens the signal path and minimizes impedance for high-fidelity performance. The power supply of the M-5000 "floats" from the ground to remove undesirable impacts of minute voltage fluctuations or ground noise.
A massive toroidal transformer boasts less flux leakage and higher efficiency, while components are used to reduce impedance.
It is a perfect companion for the C-5000 preamplifier.
