do it!!! i prefer tube preamps and solid state power amps. Main system puts a cary preamp with my SS monoblocks, office system is a vincent hybrid integrated amp. as stated above the tube preamp softens and smooths the tonality, but the SS power Amps give it immediate punch and dynamism which I haven't found in tube power amps. I admit i haven't tried it with ultra expensive tube power amps so there may be all tube combinations that kick but in my budget for power
this was the best arrangement
