I have both a early Monbrison with MM/MC phono sections and an Aurieges L, w/o phono, only line stage that I use a phono preamp with. I am in awe of the sound from both and would not change a thing at this stage. Running an older Montrachet EL34 amplifier with the Monbrison, Devore O/93 speakers with a Thorens TD124/SME3009/Lyra Lydian cartridge. I am a seasoned audio guy going back to the 1970’s and I have never been happier with my system. I see no reason to change in the next decade.
If you have the opportunity to get either, go ahead and try it with you system. They have resale value so you can flip if need be, but I suspect you will be pleased.
