Can any preamps for $2-3k touch Auregies-L?

I made a mistake and recently sold my Shindo Auregie-L out of frustration while dealing with room issues. Long story short, I've got some treatments in place and a new amplifier (Decware Torii 3) and things are sounding good, but--I suspect my Shindo could bring more to the table.

I prioritize tonal beauty and emotion over absolute linearity and resolution. I also tend to be a sucker for texture, harmonic density and micro/macro dynamics.

I suspect I'd be best off waiting for a Shindo to come up used, but I am open to alternatives.

Yup. never sell you old stuff ontil you are really really certain you can be happy. I'd say in general keep your old stuff when you buy newer stuff.. Keep it at least a year, if you can.
For some reason preamps have more seller's remorse than other items..

One suggestion - get the MM version this time ;)

The phonostage in the Aurieges paired with a nice step-up like the A23 may surprise you.

Sold my Aesthetix calypso signature and keep my Shindo Auregie-L.
