Shindo amps vs. preamps

Hello-

I see more on the forums related to Shindo preamps than amplifiers. Are the preamps what makes Shindo systems very good, or does the Shindo amp make the magic?

Reason being, in my experience the tube amp has always made more magic than the preamp. I'm not sure if that is the case with Shindo. I can not use a Shindo preamp as I require remote, but have been looking into Shindo Montrachet and Haut Brion amps.

Thanks,
