Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp?

Greetings!

I’ve seen some folks using Tube Preamps with Solid State Am ps. I’m thinking of doing that with my system as part of an incremental change. I currently have a Parasound P5 preamp with a Parasound A21 driving Klipsch Cornwall 4’s. Will a decent / good Tube Preamp really make a difference in my sound? I enjoy what I have now but really want to experience Tubes in my system. Thanks!

I received a huge upgrade in sound from
NAD C375BEE integrated amp into tube preamp and solid state amp. 
The pieces are McIntosh - preamp included a DAC and phono stage versus an phono only in the integrated. The amp increase output from 150 to 300 yet my speakers found new life. The sound is more dynamic and detailed at all listening levels.
