I have read that the YBA is not very load tolerant but the MF is. If you know what you want, AA is not a rip off, they give you 30 days. The most important thing is what works best with your setup. Try to hear them in your home.
I purchased the MF A300 from Audio Advisor. I really enjoyed the sound of it. I just could not get Audio Advisor to send me an invoice/receipt after three weeks of asking. Amp was nice, customer service was poor. I sent it back.
My vote also goes to audiorefinement. I heard them both, and they are both good. The YBA amp was especially good with the cd player from the same line. Also try the Linn Majik. I tried all three and bought the Linn.
Both are worthy products. However I very carefully evaluated and listened to the Audio Refinement Complete, MF A3, Marantz pm-17, NAD 317 and a friends Classe'. The Audio refinement Complete had better sound, more detail, rythym and pacing, timbre than the others in my system. The Audio Refinement controls and build quality are wonderful too. For a relatively low cost integrated you get to cross into the high end! I use psb stratus gold i speakers by the way. Yiu will not be disappointed with Audio refinement. Good Luck.
