AR-LS2b PH3 vs, Audible Illusions M3a

Would like to solicit opinions on which preamp would work better with Audio Research D400 solid state amplifier.
- Audio Research LS2b series 2 with PH3 phono stage? or
- Audible Illusions M3a?

Or any other suggestions? I'm open to suggestions up to around $2500 to $3000 in cost.

I play vinyl quite a bit and CD's as well.

I have used the ARC LS2b MKII and the ARC PH2 with an Oracle Delphi MKV SE (granite/aluminium base with turbo supply)
This analog front end makes beautiful music. You can improve the LS2B markedly by using the 6H23 (NOS Sovteck 6922) from Upscale Audio. The PH3 is even sweeter than the PH2.
