I have the Aurieges L (serial #001) paired with a 6V6 Montille. As this is my first foray into Shindo land I can't compare it to the old Aurieges and since I have a Parasound JC3 phono I didn't need a phono input. I can say that it's a lovely sounding pre - very musically involving , extremely quiet.The Aurieges-Montille combo easily bests my LFD Mk IV integrated(another well reviewed basically one-man operation hand made amp from England.It used to be my reference amp,now it's my backup). Physically the Aurieges L is very different than the old model, being taller and boxier. It's only a little bit smaller than the Montille. I'm extremely happy with my Shindos.
