tube or solid state phono amp with a tube integrated amplifier?

Hello,

I’d like some advise as to whether to pair a tube phono preamp or a solid state phono preamp with a vacuum tube integrated amp, or does it not make a difference?

Thanks,

Mike

i have preferred a very clean quiet ss phono stage (esp w lomc carts) then add tubes in the linestage

have had trouble with noisy tubes in the phono stage in the past... can be pita and frustrating
