Not to put too fine a point on it, my Dynaudio Contour S3.4s with their upgraded to Esotar II tweeters (from the stock Esotecs) are quite something, too.

Going from memory as it has been quite some time since I even heard the 30.1, the 30.2 retains all of the magic but gives them just a bit more openness and more palpable/focused imaging. Hauntingly beautiful speakers with the EL34 "Triode mode" of the PrimaLuna HP I am driving them with right now. Loving the Silver Eucalyptus color as well. This is the first Harbeth pair I have owned and I don't see myself upgrading or changing speakers anytime soon, sorry buddy. I would imagine with the 40th anniversary additions and perhaps these changes persisting across the board going forward, you will see quite a few older Harbeth models for sale. Wonderful opportunity to jump on them at preowned prices! The older models will seduce and romance the listener no less than the new .2 models with the right amplification. No doubt C-J will be spectacular. As far as a review of YggY, Dan already did an outstanding job with reviewing YggY for us, at best, all I can offer are some "observations" of my own to add to the further discussions about YggY. |

Thanks Bart. I am looking forward to it. Gumby really opened new horizons for me and I can't wait to get YggY in the system.

That's Exciting Serge! Last night after reading Dan's post, I listened to Bill Frisell's Good Dog Happy Man. The guitars sound so natural with the Yggy.. |

To my ears everything sounded more natural with Gumby, not to mention the imaging is better focused and more palpable. The piano however is where the most noticeable difference can be instantly heard. A very complex instrument spanning a wide range of primary tones and harmonic overtones. With Gumby it just sounded lifelike. With my other DAC right now, some instruments are less noticeably different but the piano sticks out like a sore thumb on familiar recordings.

Status still "Yggy in production". There must be a backlog of YggY orders and builds after Dan's review.
