I have an Aleph 3 in storage now. It is sweet and delicate sounding but when I moved to a larger room it didn't work and maxed out below listening levels. It also runs warm and lacks bass punch and dynamics. It is transparent but speaks softly. I've never had high efficiency speakers but with the right speaker and a smaller room that amp could be magical.
My phono pre is an Aleph Ono that I've had for years. I find it very neutral sounding with good stage depth and imaging. It is also very quiet and has balanced outputs.
I've heard an XA200 and it was stunning. It had the same delicateness of my Aleph3 with way more dynamics.
