Preamp comparison- need help


Current system:
Audio Aero Prima cd player
Rega 5 turntable/ Benz Micro Glider cartridge
Dynaudio Contour 1.4 speakers
REL Strata III sub
Plinius P8 power amp

Using preout from SS integrated for now

I am looking at an Audio Research LS-12 or Cary SLP-03.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I have a Cary SLP98P and I'm getting all new Ruby EL 34 tubes 2 EL84's and 2 12ax7 input tubes for my Cary V12R amp in a couple of days. I tested the amp tubes and deceided to just get a new set. The SLP98P ran very good when I still had my McIntosh 7270 amp. Still having both a tube amp and preamp is even better. I love both units and have not rolled any tubes yet. I used to do it the hard way and roll speakers. I've been single for some time now.
