DABabolical machine: Yamaha CRX-M170

Crave Not only did Yamaha send us this delightful little DAB to review, but they included the largest subwoofer we've ever seen. Update: a full review of the Yamaha CRX-M170 is now live. We've seen big DABs and small DABs, round ones and square ones...

Yamaha AW1600 review

Reviews When you consider that renting a studio with equivalent hardware to the Yamaha AW1600 can cost upwards of £100 an hour (in many cases £500 an hour might be a more realistic figure), recorders like this one begin to look increasingly viable.

Yamaha CRX-M170 review

Reviews Though it may seem like a relative newcomer, Yamaha famously manufactured Japan's first piano over 100 years ago. The Yamaha brand has never enjoyed the elite status of Linn or Arcam, but the company has forged itself a good reputation for home...

Yamaha YSP-1100 review

Reviews When the Yamaha YSP-1100 arrived, we were struck by its large size at a touch over 1m long. We've yet to find one that actually manages this convincingly, but most people don't want the hassle of several speakers and the necessary wire, so we...

Yamaha HTY-750: Surround sound in one small speaker

Crave If you long for the auditory joy of surround sound, but don't want -- or aren't allowed to have -- a multi-speaker setup at home, then you'll relish the opportunity the Yamaha HTY-750 provides: surround sound in one compact box.

Yamaha HTY-750 review

Reviews These all vary how the Yamaha focuses the 'sound beams' and will work differently depending on what you are watching. You're in luck: the £400 Yamaha HTY-750 is a simple, all-in-one sound bar, designed to improve the terrible sound emitted by most...

DAB radios for hi-fi nutters

Reviews The offerings on show here range from Yamaha's attractive mini-system all the way up to PURE's world-class DRX-702ES. All these digital tuners have been built under the assumption that you love radio to the extent that a psychologist might be...

Yamaha MusicCAST MCX-2000: a new caste

Crave If the Sonos Digital Music System is the Ferrari of music-streaming hardware, then the Yamaha MusicCAST MCX-2000 is a Land Rover. Yamaha supplied ours with a selection of plug-points that are designed to be fitted directly into the walls of your home.

Yamaha YSP-1: Fantastic Forty

Crave When the rather heavy Yamaha YSP-1 landed in our lap, after recovering our breath we were heathily sceptical about its surround-sound potential. It seems like the technology might have its limitations, but if you want to avoid the clutter of a true...

Yamaha YSP-40D: A surround-sound system in a box

Crave Barely weeks have passed since we reviewed the Yamaha YSP-1100 but there's already a new kid on the block. Yamaha has included a DAB radio in this model, which should interest people looking to totally ditch their hi-fi systems in favour of an all...

Studio in a box: Yamaha AW1600

Crave Yamaha has jammed all of this hootenanny into a single, dedicated, digital music unit. Gone are the days when recording a band on sixteen tracks meant booking Abbey Road. No longer are studios filled with racks of hot valves, reams of tape and mop...

Logic3 SoundStage: 5.1 sound, 15 speakers

Crave Not taken with Yamaha's one-piece 5.1 surround-sound system for £1,000? Like Yamaha's YSP-1100, the technology works by bouncing sound around the walls of your living room, eliminating the need for individual speakers that can be problematic to...

Sonos ZP80 review

Reviews As with the ZP100, there was no muddying of the low end and the higher frequencies were accurate and unstrained on both the Arcam and the Yamaha systems. One ZP80 we attached to an Arcam Solo hi-fi using analogue phono interconnects, and one to a...
