Accuphase amps & Tube Preamps?

I was curious what past results have been experienced using an Accuphase amp(s) (preferably Vintage 70's - 90's ) with a tube preamp?

I have a recent acquisition of an Accuphase E202 integrated and T100 tuner. I bought these as back ups as my Blue Circle BC2 monoblocks get a power supply cap upgrade and bias adjustment.
Anyhow, I was in shock as to how nice the Accuphase sounded through a pair of Altec A'7s. So that got me thinking, "What would an Accuphase amp sound like with a tube preamp such as my Audible Illusions M3A".

Any feedback regarding Accuphase and tube preamp's would be very welcome and appreciated.

Thanks,

Ramon

Funny you should mention Shindo as I believe that is quite possibly where I may go next in the audio chain. Thank you, for your comments.

I certainly would welcome more from Audiogon members.

Stiltskin, yes tuner is very nice as well as integrated.
Cap(s), diode etc replacement on E202 would likely prove nothing short of astonishing. Tuner is a 5 gang with solid rich sound, love it, thanks for input.

BTW, impedance loads. Matching Accuphase and Tube preamp loads, this is really what I am trying to get at.
