Audible Illusions M3B or L3


I plan on getting one of these two. I've read a lot about the M3B but very little about the L3. Has anyone compared how these two preamps are sonically? Any difference? If you were to get one of these, which one would you get, and why?

How is the 'Gold' phono board for LO MC's (I'm using a Lyra Kleos now, in to a Fosgate Sig. External phono preamp)?

In advance thanks for your input!

4+months, in since February?!?!?! Hmm, lets see does this sound familiar?

We're backed up in manufacturing our new product and we had to put repairs and upgrades on hold.

We ran out of the parts needed to complete the work on your unit and it will be a few weeks before our order is filled.

Because our original vendor for those parts went out of business we're looking for another vendor.

We've found another vendor but its going to be at least few weeks before our order is filled but the new parts will be better than the originals.

I'm ashamed to say you're not the first to suffer this flim flam and sadden by the fan boys who turn a blind eye and continue to tout these products. The fact is there are any number of products at this price point that provide a similar level or better performance and support.
After a more than five month wait for an M3A upgrade I sent them a registered letter demanding them to return my check and the preamplifier in whatever condition it was in. Seven working days later I received the unit completely upgraded and sold it here the following week. 

During my initial conversation they said the upgrade was a night and day improvement, it wasn't, and that they had all the parts needed and it would be completed within two weeks.

What was a truly a night and day improvement was the Bruce Moore preamplifier I auditioned for a week that the M3A appeared to be modeled after.
