My particular unit shipped UPS Ground from CA to SC so it spent almost a week on the road and, presumably, in some cold weather. Significant? I don't know but the range of experiences and opinions on how long it takes the Yggy to settle in are diverse.


Good listening. My experience has been that Yggy is far from strident or forward so I’m very interested in your impressions. I’d note that adding a Shunyata Diamondback power cord made a positive difference.

I’ve also found that the Yggy likes a little ‘social distancing’ and so I have mine isolated a bit and not near any other gear.
