what is it like to mix tube and solid..

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?

Combinations like the ARC LS-16 with the 100.2, or the CJ 17 with the 2250 or 2500 are good current model choices, or various used combos. Much would depend on your front-end and speakers,....but the tube pre with high-current s.s. power..work well with loads that need plenty of current...ie: Maggies, Martin Logan..etc.
