YBA Integre vs. YBA / Audio Refinement Complete

Same company same design same enginnering team. One is made in France, One is made in Asia. Listen closly the YBA is Better but not twice as good.

I have the Audio Refinement Complete in my second system and it is an amazing little amp. I have never listened to the YBA Integre, so I can't comment on it. I can say though that the ARC is so good that it is a cable-tweaker's delight. With a good power cord and good interconnects from the source and good speaker cables to some decent speakers, this little integrated is truly a "Giant-killer".

twice as expensive never equals twice as good. Should it? The difference is well worth it, in this case. peace, warren
