Angeboten wird „Passion PRE550 MKII Vorstufe & AMP650 Power Stereo Endstufe“ von YBA als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Vor- / End - Kombi“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5652033791 endet am 04.08.2026 um 18:24 Uhr.
€9,700 is above the 75th percentile of your comparable pool, so this reads as ambitious rather than fair, even though it is not wildly out of line for a desirable piece. Against a median of €8,009 and a 75th percentile of €9,797, the asking price is sitting right at the top end of the recent market, leaving little room for negotiation.
That said, this is the kind of preamp that can justify a premium if the cosmetics are clean and the accessories are complete. YBA’s Passion line is well regarded for a refined, low-fatigue presentation with strong transparency and proper control, so a well-kept example can be a smart long-term piece. If it’s original-owner and truly comes with the right cables and accessories, the upside is in buying a respected model in tidy condition; otherwise, I’d want a stronger discount at this level.
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.
