Doshi preamp l/p vs Messenger preamp line/phono

Has anyone ever had the opportunity to hear these units and might compare them?
I appreciate also opinions foe each preamp separately.

They are each highly regarded and I have heard nothing to suspect otherwise. Importantly, the gentlemen behind the designs seem to be of high quality. At this price point, it's worth arranging an audition (preferably in home) prior to purchase.
