Yes – THE YES ALBUM – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series Hybrid SACD
Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! One of the finest albums of the classic rock era! Hybrid Stereo SACD
After half a century of crafting an astonishing array of chart-topping albums and embarking on triumphant global tours, Yes’s The Yes Album marks the origin of their meteoric rise, through the recording sessions for this 1971 masterpiece.
Ex-Dem Pass Labs XP-22 Preamplifier
The new design uses double-shielded low noise toroidal transformers in external supply
The new design uses double-shielded low noise toroidal transformers in an external supply connected via aviation-grade circular connectors using silver over oxygen-free copper. The power supply is dual mono with two transformers with lower radiated and mechanical noise. Noise is the most prominent part of THD+N at low levels, so by lowering noise we get better resolution and dynamics.
The gain circuitry continues to use our favorite transistors from Toshiba but has a larger, higher biased, output stage like the Xs Preamp, and includes auto bias.
The larger output stage makes longer, and multiple cable runs easier to drive and gives us the advantage of simplifying our single-ended output circuitry while increasing performance.
The volume control is a single stage instead of two stages and has more range; it is quieter and more accurate. This is the same volume control as used in the XP-30.
Overall this makes for a quieter, more neutral, musical, and versatile control center for your system.
The XP-22 measures spectacularly well — but it really stands out sonically.

The Clown also introduced two of Mingus’ finest compositions in the driving, determined “Haitian Fight Song” and the ’40s-flavored “Reincarnation of a Lovebird,” a peaceful but melancholy tribute to Charlie Parker; Mingus would return to both throughout his career.

Collaro Audio White Precision Turntable Mat
The Collaro Audio white precision cloth turntable mat is identical in manufacture to the Rega NAIA mat, branded with the Collaro Audio logo in gunmetal grey, and is produced with Rega’s full approval.
The mat is a woven 100% wool construction and lies perfectly flat on the platter. The logo is printed on a white layer on one side, so if you’d prefer to use it logo side downwards, the visible print-through is reduced to a minimum. The sonic benefit of the Collaro mat over a standard compressed felt mat has to be heard to be believed.
