Ypsilon Electronics was founded in 1995 by two sound engineers with extensive experience in the field of live music reproduction. With a background in electronics engineering and careers forged in setting up audio systems for live concerts, Demetris Baklavas and Fanis Lagadinos set out to develop audio equipment that could reproduce music in a way that is true to the original recording.
Key to this vision was the realisation that their designs had to be uncompromising in their ability to communicate the real essence of music….emotion. Their quest to push the limits of musical reproduction led them on a long journey of evaluating nearly all available technologies, components and circuit designs……a journey that led to the development and integration of transformers in their amplification circuits. They realized that by using high quality transformers as coupling devices it was possible to overcome the performance limitations in an amplification stage, whether it’s a solid stage or valve design. Ypsilon now wind their own transformers in-house, often from the highest purity silver available and each transformer is specifically tailored to meet the needs of each design. Demetris implements the simplest possible circuit design for a given task and believes that single-ended class A operation offers the most transparent and musically complete sonic performance. This design approach is unique in the world of high-end audio. Despite the high cost of implementing custom made pure silver transformers, nanocrystalline cores, pure silver wiring and ultimate level componentry, the result is a sound quality that has re-defined expectations about what is possible in sound reproduction. A prominent reviewer recently remarked that an Ypsilon amplifier seems to poke into every nook and cranny of the performance space, seeking out the smallest nuances. Often, it’s the small details and their place within a performance space that make an instrument sound more lifelike and a performer more emotionally engaging. Often appearing in some of the world’s most well-known reference systems, Ypsilon has earned a reputation as among the very best audio reproduction equipment available. |
