Hi, Tromatic:I have never found either a McIntosh C-26 or C-28 to be as nice sounding as ANY tube preamp I have ever owned. Sure, the thing is probably dead quiet overall, but "musical" it is not.
The fact that you own an SP-3 leads me to suggest that once you have your SP-3 back and, provided that it is repaired and working to spec, you would be very hard-pressed to even begin to compare its performance and overall level of satisfying sound with one of these McIntosh solid-state preamps.
Now, if you are enraptured by the appearance of the C-26, purchase the unit in question and admire it in the dark or whatever, but it is NOT equal to an SP-3 in proper working condition.
Not even close.
My personal opinion, of course!
