Phono amp as good as Shindo Aurieges phono section

I have recently , while having my Shindo Aurieges worked on, installed a Tortuga LDR in place of the Shindo. I am surprised that I like the Tortuga a lot. I want to get a Phono amp, at least equivalent to the Aurieges, so I can compare them when the Aurieges is back, and I am missing my analog fix.

I have a Allnic A1500, 300b amp, so the logical choice , to me, is the Allnic 1201. Any recommendations or thoughts appreciated!

 I have an Acoustic Signature table ,with a Trans- Fi tonearm.

How were you using the Aurieges. Were you using an SUT? What's your analog front end? It would be helpful to mention your price range for a phono stage. I believe the Allnic entry level unit is $3K

fjn04, I used some MM/MI and I use an Auditorium 23 sut with MC cartridges.  

As far as price I would hope around $3000 new or used, but would go a little higher.

Try a Leben phono stage with an Auditorium SUT.

jperry, I had forgotten about Leben. Thanks, that is defiantly a contender.
I will look into that.
