Can cary slp-03 work with 120S?

Hey guys I am currently bought a new cary 120s not 120sMK2 I ended up getting a way better deal with the s over the MK2. My budget is I can trade my sli-80 for the slp-03 and only have to only pay a $1000 for the preamp. I was plannig to buy a cary slp-98P. But having car troubles so have to buy a new car now! Priorates! My big question will the SLP-03 work well with the 120s other then the Absolute sound review" has any one tried it?
