"My preference is for smooth non fatiguing versus analytical"
The Cary 05 and 98 models use 6SN7GT tubes which are famous for the sound you say you are looking for. The Cary 05 model is clearly their flagship preamp and a great piece of gear. I have the SLP-98P which is more affordable but also a well designed piece, which has been in their lineup about 15 years for good reason.
I've swapped the original tubes with some great NOS alternatives on mine. This has improved transparency, imaging, and bass. It raised the bar in the direction of the sound of the admittedly better 05 model. I can only imagine the sound of the 05 model with NOS tubes.
