The A-500 is a highly regarded model from Yamaha's early '80s Natural Sound line, with the ZDR circuit (distortion cancelling) — developed with Yamaha's ZDR (zero distortion rule) circuitry. Power is around 2x70W per channel with very low THD (0.005%), and signal-to-noise ratios of 76dB (MC), 92dB (MM), 100dB (line). In the trade press of the time it was well rated: Stereoplay 12/1983 gave it 'Spitzenklasse IV', at the time a high class designation. Users describe the sound as warm, clear and 'punchy', with a built-in phono stage suitable for both MM and MC — thus no separate phono preamplifier needed.
