Audio Research vs YBA


I have a YBA 2 preamp that I use with my YBA 1 amplifier.
Can an Audio Research LS25 mkII smouth out the sound so it sound less forward and less harsh.
The CD player is a Wadia 301, tuner is Audio Refinement and speakers JM Lab Utopia Diva BE.

Let me also know about other option that could work well.

Thank you

Audio Research gear is acutally a bit forward sounding and will not give you the kind of presentation you are looking for. I would recommend an AudioNote pre-amp - they all have a very liquid, soft sound, that does not sacrafice any detail. It is the way to go with the YBA amp.
