Should I eliminate my preamp?

I have been using my Audio Research tube preamp and Bryston amp to drive Magnepan speakers for years. Recently I added a Oppo blue ray player to my system and connected directly to my amp using the balance cables. The reason was to eliminate the signal having to go through another piece of equipment before it hits the amp. Am I wrong or what am I missing?

My preamp is AR SP6 b (circa 1980).

Thanks for all the comments.  As for the preamp, I have owned for 20 years. I purchased from a friend who was an authorized AR technician. He replaced tubes at the time I bought it. I am certain it couldn't hurt to have it tested, however I am trying to sell the SP6.
