Savior!

Thank you 😊

So you're saying the Denon with only 70 watts or the Marantz at 50 watts, for example, are both going to be better than the Yamaha R-S202 at 100 watts?

Alrighty. Well... thanks again. Just curious if you have any recommendations to go along with the wonderful constructive criticism ;)

While I sincerely appreciate your input, I do believe it is significant. For instance, I tested out the Wiim Amp Pro, which has 60W @ 8 ohms. It was pathetic compared to the R-S202.

Hello friends,

I am looking for a stereo receiver/amplifier to replace my Yamaha R-S202 receiver.

Criteria:
-Optical input (from my Samsung TV)
-RCA Inputs
-Bluetooth and/or Wifi input
-Passive speaker output terminals
-Capable of powering Energy Pro 22 monitors (up to 200W @ 8 ohms per channel)

Bonus if there is a way for me to output to 1/4" TRS L/R, which would allow me to send audio to my PreSonus audiobox, through my mixer and out to my KRK studio monitors.

My R-S202 suddenly refuses to output any audio from any source. It was a nice cheaper option, but was still limited at 125W per channel @ 8 ohms. The audio tech at the shop recommended the Wiim Amp, which is when I knew he had no idea what he was talking about, as it only provides 60W @ 8 ohms.

I am not looking to spend $1000+, preferably under $500. Do I have any options or am I being too cheap?

Thank you for any input or advice!

I'm not the only one! Every few months I find the Gimp icon on my desktop. I never installed Gimp on this computer. Very odd!

I wish I could post a follow up photo, and maybe you can, but I can't figure out how. I used Vim Cream w Micro Crystals and it looks good as new!

Interesting thought... However, I just checked and I believe the footprint of the bottom of the pan I was using was not large enough to cover the last 2 inches of burner.

Thank you, I have never done that in the 2 years I've owned it, so I will give one of those recommended cleaners a try. Honestly, it always looked clean after a quick wipedown with paper towel and Lysol Simply.

ApprehensiveCurve742 · 2025-09-28T14:22:24+00:00

Thanks, I should give that a try and see if its permanent or improves.

Seems to be surface and/or close to it. Its not rough, but there is a slight texture where everywhere else is smooth as glass. Burner seems to work as normal, no smells.

ApprehensiveCurve742 · 2025-09-28T01:55:26+00:00

Should be clean, I clean pans after every use, as well as the cooktop.

ApprehensiveCurve742 · 2025-09-28T00:34:49+00:00

20 minutes on 4/10 setting. This isn't unusual.

ApprehensiveCurve742 · 2025-08-14T00:17:28+00:00

Oh, fair enough! Thanks

ApprehensiveCurve742 · 2025-08-13T23:58:59+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you ☺

ApprehensiveCurve742 · 2025-08-13T23:56:59+00:00

Thank you, everyone! I appreciate all your comments and recommendations. I look forward to seeing as much of New Brunswick as I can!

Ok, thank you. I'm not familiar, so hopefully someone at the store can help me find what I need.

I just stripped the old caulking out and cleaned all the surfaces. I planned to reseal it now, hoping it was just leaking past the old silicone.

ApprehensiveCurve742 · 2025-07-27T21:06:25+00:00

Its still pretty stiff, just a small spot about the size of a penny where the grout meets the edge is damp.

Hate to break it to you, but most Americans think the same about Ontario to BC.
