“It wasn’t until I sat down one night to take some listening notes that I experienced what I’d felt like hearing them for the first time. While enjoying some 17th-century choral music — Allegri’s Miserere, from The Essential Tallis Scholars (16-bit/44.1kHz AIFF, Gimell) — I heard an amazing amount of stage depth and an impressive ability to re-create clear aural images. Through the SVSes, the voices of individual choristers were well resolved, and their positions in front of me were readily perceptible. It was as if the sounds of the singers’ voices emanated from three distinct places: the foremost was in line with the plane of the speaker baffles, while a second group slightly farther back had a touch more reverb to help accentuate their distance. The third group of voices were apparently singing to me from beyond the front wall of my room, conveying an illusion of so much depth that I seemed to be sitting in the rear pew of a large cathedral. For someone who places resolution and a coherent soundstage high on a list of sonic priorities, the SVSes tick the right boxes.”

“Once the vacuum arm has reached the edge of the record, it will continue to move outward until it turns the motor and pump off. The entire process of brushing and vacuuming will take about 90 seconds. Some practice will be necessary to get just enough fluid on the record without waste. Too much fluid and the rapidly spinning platter (think 78rpm record speed) will splash off the excess onto the top plinth. Keep a tissue handy for the first few tries.

When it comes time to empty the waste fluid, you will also need to cut off the used cotton thread with a pair of scissors before putting the lid back on. Each record side uses very little thread, so if my experience is normal, you will only occasionally need to replace the spool. You will periodically need to use the provided Breakthemold fluid to keep the waste fluid tubes and jars clean. Just put a few tablespoons in a small dish and let the vacuum arm suck it up. After emptying that cleaner out, you are now ready to return to cleaning records.”

“The YBA Genesis IA3A is a seriously capable upmarket integrated amplifier. It has a very personable and charming sound, lots of power and quirky and original styling and user interface. Don’t let the unusual look and slightly odd ergonomics put you off, this is well worth a listen if you’re in the market for a solid-state integrated amplifier at the price”
