Offered is „Genesis IA3A Vollverstärker“ by YBA as second-hand device from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 858334042 ends on 13.10.2026 at 17:16 o'clock.
Compared with a new integrated at this money, this is the kind of used buy that can deliver far more amplifier for the euro. At €1,699, it sits well below the €1,997 25th percentile of recent comparable listings and far under the €3,360 median, so this reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair.
This is a well-regarded, no-nonsense integrated with the sort of drive, control, and tonal composure that makes YBA gear attractive to people who value musicality over feature count. If the unit is clean and complete, the upside is straightforward: serious performance at a price where many alternatives are either newer but lesser, or similarly priced but less refined.

Founded in 1981 by Yves Bernard André, an electronics professor, YBA emerged from France as a beacon of passionate hi-fi innovation. André's designs embodied a quintessentially French flair—quirky yet brilliant—prioritizing simplicity, durability, and unadulterated musicality that captivated journalists and audiophiles alike. This heritage of precision and purity propelled the brand through decades of acclaim, earning international awards while steadfastly pursuing the ideal of sound so transparent it fades into the music itself.
YBA specializes in high-end electronics, with a core focus on amplifiers, preamplifiers, integrated amps, CD players, DACs, phono stages, and streaming devices across ranges like Design, Heritage, Passion, Signature, and Genesis. Custom French-made components such as connectors, transformers, cables, resistors, and solder underscore their commitment to reliability. While not delving into speakers, turntables, or headphones, their catalog emphasizes amplification and digital sources that deliver clarity and extraordinary musical engagement.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, YBA blends boutique French design ethos with robust manufacturing scale, following Shanling's 2009 acquisition that preserved André's involvement and relaunched the brand internationally in 2012. Today, products remain "Designed in France, made with Passion," commanding respect among discerning buyers for their aesthetic appeal and sonic refinement, though production largely occurs in China. This evolution secures YBA's enduring niche as a sought-after name in premium hi-fi.
