Cary Tube Preamps HT passthrough

I downgraded my system a couple of years back until I could get a dedicated media room, and guess what? I'm building one right now!!

I have most of the equipment picked out, and a bunch of it already purchased. Let me give you the list so you will see where I am going:

Magnepan 3.6
Bel Canto Ref 1000 monoblocks
Denon 5910ci
ProJect RM9
Denon AVR 3808 (processor and power to center and backs)
SVS Ultra2 subwoofer
Maggie MMG-W rears and Center

My question is about the preamp for my front end. I want a Cary tube preamp, with a phono stage. Does it matter which one? I have heard that they will upgrade any of the older preamps to have a phono stage and HT passthrough, is that true? If so which one would be recommended?

Also, I had planned on a Velodyne DD12 or JL Audio Fathom for my sub but read so much good stuff about the SVS thought that I would give it a try.

Opnions are more than welcome, I have been out of the hobby for a while and can't wait to get going again.

You have the SLP 05, what is the difference between that and the 98?

Great advice on the HT Passthrough, sounds like a plan. I was leaning towards the 98, not sure with my system that the 05's extra cost would be worth it, but....

Thx
