tube vs SS preamp

Several months ago I retired my SS power amp in favor of a Jolida 502P. Currently I'm using a Forte model F-44 SS preamp. I really like the change to tubes but now I'm questioning whether or not I should switch to a tube preamp as well. I would like to hear any feedback.

Schubert,
Can you please explain what that means? I do not know much about tubes - honest. In a tubed preamp - how long do the tubes last? What is required for maintenance?

Thanks!

Thank You for explaining folks. I have NEVER been in the tubeland. At this point I am seriously considering upgrading my preamp to the Parasound JC-2, because my amp is also Parasoud, and I have heard nothing but good stuff about the combo.
But for the past week, I have been trying to read up on tubed preamps. Still I hesitate to venture into that area because I have no idea about installing, biasing, maintaining tubed components. I will look up more before settling down for a good preamp upgrade.
