Tube pre for class d recommendations

Would anyone care to share their experience running a tube preamp in front of some Class d amps?

I'm not trying to warm up anything with the LS26. I expect the LS26 to be detailed and revealing. I currently have a Jolida Fusion tube preamp in that system and it's pretty good, but I don't think it's letting all the music through and isn't truly balanced like the LS26. I have combined the Wyred 4 Sound amp I use in that system with my Modwright LS100 and it sounded wonderful. I expect the LS26 to be similar, and if so, it will be an improvement over the Jolida.
