Can Tube CDP act as Tube Preamp??


Hi, I have been using a Tube CDP (AhTjoeb4000) with NADC370 (SS Integrated amp).I am considering getting a tube Preamp to replace the preamp section of the NADC370.One of my audio pal told me that since the AhTjoeb CDP already has 2 tube in it;I don.t really need a tube Preamp(he meant the CDP would act as a Tube Preamp).I am seriously questioned about this concept- if it is correct;then what I need would be a SS Preamp not neccesary a tube preamp for upgrade. I really need your opinion and suggestions and thanks in advance

You should be able to adjust the output of the CDP using the remote - at least I could on my Tjoeb'99. You could also try a Creek OBH10 or OBH12 as a passive preamp - really just a remote controlled volume control.
