As Rwwear says, it works both ways. This has been discussed many times before, perhaps you'll find more opinions in the archives.

Tube Pre/SS Amp versus SS Pre/Tube Amp
Hey all:
Just wanted to know what your thoughts as a whole were about these combinations. This all stemmed from my friend coming over and listening to my system one day, and he made an observation that I had a SS Pre (Accuphase C-200) and Tube Monos (AES/Cary Sixpacs). He also made the comment that it's a little unusual for that, stating that when different, people usually choose a Tube Pre and a SS Amp instead of the other way around...
Thoughts?
