Before I upgraded to the Leben RS-28CX, I had an Aurieges teamed with an Accuphase P-3000 for about one year and that combo was sublime. (The Leben is even better, but I believe that has more to do with the Leben being an even better preamp than Shindo's entry level Aurieges.) And I know indirectly that the person who bought my Levinson 334 loves that amp with his Aurieges. You didn't mention which SS amp you have, but the 334 and P-3000 both work great with an Aurieges, and sonically, those two amps could not be more different.
