Tube preamp enhancement of HT processor sound

I run my HT mains out from an av processor and thru a tube preamp - tubes on.

Impact of a tube preamp vastly improves musicality of tones.  SS processing for ht is so much better with tube enhancement.  
Curious how ht is perceived by others who have a tube preamp.  I have a schiit freya+.

My ARC system is a completely separate  system. You can see it by clicking on my user ID. 

My home theater is not shown, but is a high end Meridian Surround processor, a 250 wpc Rotel 5 channel amp, and all B&W 805 speakers, so it is all solid state.

All the components in my audio system after the streamer and the turntable are Audio Research Reference tube equipment. My home theater is all solid state… really good equipment and natural sounding.. My reason for not doing tubes is simply to me the video distracts me from the sound just enough that it was not worth it to me.
