YBA HERITAGE A100 Integrated Amplifier (Solid State) This is an opportunity to grab this rarely come YBA Heritage A100 (100w @ 8ohsm and 150W at 4 ohms) which I Bought from overseas in August last year and used only for testing. The sound signature of this YBA is very much similar to my current Electrocompaniet ECI5 MK2. Works fine with no issues. Please note that the mute button of the supplied remote control does not work. Tried with Logitech Harmony and it works fine. Please note a tiny dent as highlighted on photos. They are visible only from a very close look. Otherwise, the amplifier
A$1,500 is fair to slightly keen, not a steal, for a Heritage A100 in unknown condition; I’d want it closer to the lower end of the used range before calling it a bargain. New pricing sat around A$2,800 equivalent, so this ask is a reasonable used discount, but not an obvious under-market deal.
What makes it worth chasing is the sound and spec: a properly built 100Wpc integrated with a linear supply, balanced input, and a reputation for being refined, quick, and flexible with a wide range of speakers. It’s also a relatively uncommon model, so complete examples with the remote, manual, and original box carry extra appeal; with condition unknown, confirm clean switching, stable channel balance, and that all inputs and the pre-out work quietly.
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.
