Audible Illusions vs. Audio Research?

I am looking to upgrade my pre-amp from a CJ PV10 to either of these units. Unfortunately I can't listen to either in my system but would be willing to sell what I didn't like (isn't audiogon fun?) The CJ is lacking detail & sounds veiled in my system. My system is as follows:
CJ PV10
Mc Cormack DNA-1
Phillips 963
Tyler Reference monitors & matching sub
with DH labs & MIT cables.
I listen to rock music only & don't plan on getting into vinyl any time soon. What do you guy's suggest?

I have read horror stories about the Audible Illusions service department, which should also be a consideration. It is a shame as for years I have read about the virtues of this pre amp.

You may want to try a Rogue 99 Magnum which has a remote controlled volume and easily compete with the preamps mentioned and they have excellent service as I have experienced.
