Does a tube phono stage get through...


Solid State? If someone wants to obtain the "benefits" of a tube phono stage, will those benefits remain when that phono stage passes the signal through a solid state preamp and amplifier or will the solid state "benefits" take over?

I understand that a tube preamp can work well with solid state amplifiers but I was wondering if going one step backwards to just using a tube phono stage in the mix has similar results.

"Tubes add compression, harmonic distortion, and a high frequency roll off to the mix."

That is a very broad statement and simply maybe true based upon your experience. Certainly not mine.
