Ayre K-3 vs Plinius CD-LAD


I wondered if anyone had experience of both of these pre-amps? I am currently using a Plinius CD-LAD that i'm looking to upgrade, potentially to an Ayre K-3. I mainly listen to Vinyl through a Dynavector XV-1s, a Kuzma Stabi S deck with a Whest Audio phone stage. My speakers are Active ATC's. Anyones thoughts would be greatly appreciated

I tried the Ayre K1 not long ago, the sound seems very loud with volume is set to 7 o'clock (zero at 5.30am). Obviously the gain doesn't match.
Of the several preamp. I tried, I am most satisfied with Krell 202; but the KCT (old model) is more economically and they will match. Also, the Mark preamp. is also good match. I heard it from a dealer's set up.
