YBA PRODUCTS

Mcondo , do you find the same as far as the sweetness of the solid-state sound? I owned an  Integra for years.  I loved it as well.  Sometimes I long for some serious WPC to exercise my very efficient speakers to Serious SPL levels with even better sound than my SET at low volumes.

👌

Indeed. The Bel Canto, as you say, was no slouch but the YBA top to bottom rings truer to my ears. It is uncanny how much  it sounds like a tube amp. And the power really provides something my SET could not do. is The Black Keys Gold on the Ceiling, Gregory Porter’s Holding On and Pink Floyd, Time to name a few. It’s a very personal thing, but the Woodstock baby in me sometimes loves to go to hard rock ear bleed quality levels. Btw, I am still using my Bel Canto SEP 1 modified SET preamp. It’s nice to be back on the ‘gon

Speaking of China:
I wonder how many high end audio companies manufacture in China?  Anyone? I wonder if my YBA Passion 650 would sound even better if it was made in France?

MADE IN USA is no guarantee; conversely made in China? It’s all about the mother company and monitoring quality

Jim, the sound of my amp delivers the goods big time, but should I be concerned about China? What is YBA doing to  monitor quality assurance, parts, construction etc. An inquiring mind would like to know. Thanks in advance

Any of the big audio guns do a similar thing in China like YBA?
