I still like the idea of a tube preamp. The Cary opened up my system tremendously and for less money than the 326.

I did miss the bottom end grunt of solid state however, and the lack of remote functions was also a major issue for me. I would happily recommend the SLP-05 to anyone, but I still prefer my 326s for my taste/needs.
