what is it like to mix a tube pre and a solid state amp? or the other way around? or is it even okay to do that? to specify the equipments, say a conrad-j and a classe. what do you guys think?

In New York City there is a Wonderful high end Audio Store. The Equipment is some of the Best Audio Equipment in the World. In Alot of the Listening rooms you will see alot of TUBE pre-amps connected with Solid State Amplifiers.The mix is often referred to as, "TUBE on Top". I see much more "TUBE on Top". as opposed to Solid State Pre Amp and a Tube Amplifier. That is not to say, that the arrangment will not sound good. I have experimented with both, Solid State Pre- Amp and a Tube Amplifier. I can personally recommend this particular arrangement first hand, it is a wonderful compliment to one another .
