Both are great sounding and very well constructed preamps.
J-Retro is more aggressive on boost/cut and has a bypass switch among other features.
Audere is a more "flat" sounding pre, many users say that it adds no "color" to the tone, but IME it does, although I like the way it sounds. No bypass switch.
