Hi
I use the Aria and did a review a while back. It is an incredible phono-stage which has done nothing but improve over the weeks that I've owned it. At a RRP of £800 it is great value for money and beats phono-amps that cost twice as much but as I own one I may be biased so take the opportunity to borrow one from a dealer and I bet you won't be taking it back.
Review was in Strokes Of Genius and started on 22/01/2014.
As an aside, I've just found and bought Mike Oldfields new album on vinyl. You will never guess where I found it. My Music, Taupo, New Zealand. Had a great conversation with the owner who is a mad enthusiast who told me that he gets people from all over the world buying stuff in his shop. It was great to find such a shop, the internet hasn't completely taken over yet. Pity it's so far from home.
