Experience with Cary SLP 2002 preamp?


I'm looking for a new preamp, probably tube, to use with a Cary 306/200, Levinson 336, B&W Nautilus 802's and dual stereo NHT SubTwo's. Silver Audio cables throughout. Anyone have experience with the SLP 2002 or another Cary preamp you believe is substantially similar?

I have owned the 2002 for over a year. I started with the stock tubes. They were OK for breakin and the combo of BelCanto 200.2 amp and Cary was great although somewhat dry. I eventually tube rolled it and settled on Telfunken 6DJ8s and Bugle Boy 7316s, but Mullard CV4003s are almost as good.
Changed BC to Cary Rocket 88 which was sweeter, then moved to V12i four months ago. This is all I need. The remote is small and basic, but after a while,you realize volume and mute are all you need.
I have had no real problems with my 2002 and neither have any other owners I have met at Audio Asylum.
I almost forgot to add that the 2002 has a killer tubed headphone outlet. I used it early on with the stock tubes and wasn't impressed since I used a Headroom Maxed Out Home headphone amp. I didn't let it warm up enough I know now. About a month ago, I used it again after it had been on about two hours. Absolute killer. On A/Bing it with the MOH, it was more dynamic, smoother and had a great soundstage. It's powered by the 12AU7s so the 7316s really come through. I just sold the MOH here last week.
I remember reading somewhere in the forums that one guy had a Cary SFP98, bought the SLP2002, and regretted it. I wonder if it is because the SLP2002 uses 6922s and the SFP98 uses 6SN7s. Actually, in Cary's cheaper preamp (forgot the number), he uses 6SN7s also. Wonder why he opted for 6922 in the 2002?
