Ypsilon unveiled for the first time a loudspeaker, the Fadian. It is a three-way floorstander featuring midrange and woofer from Audio Technologies and an in-house ribbon tweeter. Fadian is a precursor of two more models (a floorstanding and a stand-mounted). The side surfaces include metal fins that serve as vibration dampers.
However, the top exhibit from Ypsilon was certainly the first world presentation of their integrated amplifier, the Phaethon. It is a hybrid design with two tube-based class A driving stages, transformer-coupled to a solid state power stage delivering 120/160W at 8/4 Ohm loads. A multi-tapped transformer is, also, used as a signal attenuator.
