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 6798303999 ends on 10.11.2026 at 17:57 o'clock.
This one stands out as a strong deal. At €1,699, it sits well below the €1,989 25th percentile and far under the €3,375 median for recent used listings, so the asking price looks very attractive for a clean integrated amp.
The appeal here is straightforward: YBA integrateds are valued for their refined, low-fatigue presentation, solid build, and the kind of musical control that suits serious two-channel systems. If the unit is genuinely good condition, this is the sort of listing that makes sense to move on quickly; just confirm channel balance, relay/input switching, and that all functions are working cleanly, since buying well below market leaves room only for minor servicing if needed.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
