I have done this for 15yrs now. The two things you need to be concerned with are; some tube preamps output impedance are high and or are high at the freq. extremes. If you match that with a SS amp with a low input imp. it will cause the amps freq. output to deviate. Second it is good practice to mute your tube pre, then turn off the amp, then the tube pre.
