Help with short list of intergrateds and phono stage

It seems it comes down to the Allnic T2000 30th anniversary along with the Allnic 5500 phonostage vs a Luxman 590AXII with the EQ500 phonostage.

I did own an Allnic L5000 preamp at one point and enjoyed it. I would say it's character added and subtracted little from the music source.

I don't remember ever hearing these components in shows and now with difficulties traveling, I ask this forum.

My speakers are 97db efficient open baffle design with built-in powered subwoofers.

What I've been missing it seems for years not having tube components (other than my Rogue Audio Area Magnum) is depth and layering although with my newly acquired open baffles, I'm approaching that with SS components.

Great position to be in-choice between 2 good brands.

I'm in the all tube camp-Allnic.

For aesthetic, I like the Luxman -classic, timeless look .You'll  possibly  will miss that last bit of tube personality?

Just to make sure, get both and switch off weekly.
