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

I tried a AR LS 25 with my Ayre V-5x amp and had very nice results - I recommend having SOME tube in your system, and it m,ight as well be the preamp (cheaper, less heat less wear/tear than the amp). Try one from your local dealer, and decide for yourself.
