Tubes plus SS


Much has been written on tubes vs. solid state.
However, I have heard some very nice things from
systems with solid state amps and tube preamps.
Has anyone had similar experience? Any recommendations
on pairing solid state and tubes in this way?

Thanks everyone for useful suggestions.
The issues for me come down to taut base,
sweet mids and highs, soundstage and
above all brass blatt.
I looked at the thread "yet another ss vs. tube thread".
I was hoping to find recommendations for good pairing
between solid state and tubes, e.g. Krell amp plus
Conrad Johnson tube preamp. Don't find many specifics
here.
