SS vs Tube Preamps

I am a total novice when it comes to tubes. Does it ever make sense to use a SS pre-amp with a tube amp or should one always use a tube pre-amp with a tube amp?

I'm of the school of thought that tubes sound the best when used at the source, or as close to the source as possible.

I've tried tubes down stream in the chain, preamps etc, and IMHO thought they sounded far superior at the source.
