Shindo Auriges vs. Cary SLP98

Hello! I have an opportunity to purchase a Shindo Auriges preamp at a great price, but will have no opportunity to hear it in my system or compare against my existing Cary SLP-98 F1. I have heard great things about the Shindo, so I am tempted to pull the trigger on this deal. Rest of the system is Cary V-12i, Audio Physic Virgos, VPI Scout w/Blackbird, Shanling T-100 CD through modded EAD 7000 DAC, Audience AU24 cabling.
I know this is pretty subjective, but any thoughts?

Polk432..i have a question ?
You just mentioned that you just install GE 6sn7 to you SLP-98..both rear and front.How is the sound compare to the Cary tube stocks.I have the SLP-98 with Syl 6sn7 gtb to the rear and Syl 6sn7wgta to the front and sounded very nice but my favorite ( # 1 )is the Tung-sol 6sn7wgta round plate/brown base /combo w/ Syl 6sn7 gtb ( rear) and sounded more natural and more slam on the bottom end.
Btw,i will try some GE NOS tubes this week.
Thanks.
