I am thinking about selling a single channel Robbie (which does perform quite nicely) for this 2 channel pre. That should leave me enough money to get a microphone upgrade as well.....

Depending how much money I made, I would get either a Kel Audio HM-7U or Avantone CV-12.....

Any thoughts on comparing the setups?
Yup, dump the Robbie and get the Auteur (yes, I own one). You'd be picking up a channel on a very nice pre. The Auteur has a big solid low-end and a clear high end. A nice additional color in the preamp arsenal.

I think I'd be more inclined to get the Avantone CV-12. A very nice microphone, regardless of the price. I think the combination of the two should yield very good results on lots of sources.
