Or call it, “grab the yamalube and sit down for the circle jerk and grab aSS festival”

Talk about edging…

I prefer this over Yamalube it's has more moisturizing....

Amateurs.During a full throttle rub out, the shaft needs some real protection from chafing.

Lubes in full swing
Gene: "Do you intend to finally lubricate Yamaha AVRs with promised features?"
Phil Shea (Yamaha): "Our beta-lube has low degree od viscosity. Let us try Audioholics members' suggestions"

Sure glad I didn't get a Denon or Marantz AVR. Denon been pushing the 4700 off on unsuspecting Denon fanboys for 500 bucks more, then their 3700, just as good amp wise. Marantz booyah! cost more than Denon and you get this to worry about. From ASR site,

Denon using the same amp board in their 3700 and 4700 but charging 500 bucks more for the 4700. Talk about screwing over the Denon fan club! That's pathetic even worse from a company like Denon and Marantz.lol
Yamaha, heavy is the head that wears the crown. It's been slow here sooo.. let's get ready to rumble!

Another killer screen-shot, hahaha! It blasted my eyes

I'm stealing that one from you!

You can write another email to Yamaha and attach this Yamalube as a solution suggestion from enthusiast community members.

Haha, them Japanese engineers probably could care less.

True. They’re stubborn as hell.

You read that Denon's 4700 and 3700 uses the same amp board, but the 4700 cost 500 more than the 3700.

I did not hear that.

but I am sure them Denon-boyz will tell you the 4700 has other things like upgraded DAC, power supply, etc.

I read that over on ASR site. PENG and a few other's talking about that. Yamaha RX-A4A 1499, RX-A6A 2299, 700 plus tax between the two price wise.

 

[ryanosaur]

Just for kicks... what does the same Amp board do if the power supply is different? What about the other features.

Believe, I'll join you with pitchforks and torches if there are shenanigans afoot, but like components where possible, is also part of good design and custs down on costs.

Yeah the only reason to get the A6 over the A4 is if you have a 5.2.4 system, instead of 5.2.2 system.

A4A has 5.1.2 - without independent subs, but with two connectors.

Also some might think the step up to 150 watts is worth spending more for the A6a

How much more is 150 watts compared to the A4A? I wouldn't think it amounts to much. I think independant sub outs would be a better reason.

Not the pricing, the difference in power!

Yeah I would agree independent sub out is the better reason for sure. I think the a4a is listed at 110.
Back when I picked up my Yamaha 3060, the main reason I went flagship was to get the most wattage out of an AVR without having to go to an outboard amp. I have not been disappointed by the power at all. Although I do think about the possibility of adding an amp though

 

[Verdinut]

Not the pricing, the difference in power!

The difference in power is only 1.35 dB. It isn't worth the difference in cost, unless someone prefers some other feature or desires slightly more headroom.

I saw "how much more" as Cost rather than SPL differential.
