Your auditions with Rega and Cambridge should have impressed you with their layed back sound . I think they are overly polite and have the British Sonic. Musical not digital and warm.
You should do yourself a favor and stick with vinyl.
Of the three you want to hear. The only one I owned was the Audio Aero which I thought did an oustanding job retriving detail and still not harsh. Very tube dependent the Sovtek it camw with time with was painfully bad but a few rolls later and advice from my tube Guru led me to a great tube fot it a CV2943.
