Extreme Engineering Is Changing How Audiophiles Listen To Music

Duncan Taylor, from YG Acoustics, joins host Lenny Florentine on the AXPONA Audio Insider podcast to share his captivating journey into high-end audio—from inheriting the passion through his grandfather's handmade tube amps in the 1940s and early DIY speaker builds, to recording over 150 bands, penning a weekly "Audiophile" column, and immersing himself in thousands of components at PS Audio and The Music Room—culminating in his role at YG for the past three years. He delves into YG's remarkable evolution, highlighting massive investments in precision CNC machining, advanced cloud simulations, and an elite R&D team spearheaded by Dr. Matthew Webster, all dedicated to perfect phase coherence, impeccable power response, and evoking profound emotional responses from music. The conversation spotlights the awe-inspiring Titan flagship from the new Ultimate series—a colossal 1,200-pound-per-side behemoth with symmetrical driver arrays and unmatched engineering prowess—plus valuable tips on room acoustics, the advantages of sealed designs, how accessible models like the Carmel and Cairn encapsulate YG's signature sound, and an enticing preview of their AXPONA showcase featuring SimAudio amplification and top-tier sources. A compelling episode for audiophiles seeking cutting-edge innovation, transparency, and truly immersive listening experiences!
