YBA PRODUCTS

I just purchased their PASSION 650 stereo amp. Some of the sweetest solid-state Watts I have heard; this is after letting go of my BEL CANTO 40 SET AMP.  Given how wonderful YBA products are I am wondering why I’ve heard of them only once or twice in the last dozen years or so, and I think both times have been me. Anyone out there have first hand listening experience with YBA?

I’m afraid many make in China. You can get very high quality products from China, the issue is partnering with a company that works with you and ensures your quality processes are included in the prices and costs.


Too often manufacturers go to China, and ask for the lowest possible price, regardless of final quality or components. That is where the quality issues come from.

As I understand it there was a great deal of personal intrigue in this brand, involving a divorce, and brand ownership, yadda yadda.


I didn't follow it very closely, but this may partly explain why this brand kind of exploded on the American scene and then disappeared.
