To awdman,
Your idea of Valve pre Amp SState powerAmp has been done to death
Try it the other way round and you will achieve a lot better results.
Although you get some benifits from valve preamps it's nowhere near as good as a Valve power amp stage,,,,
---------THAT is where the magic happens NOT the preamp.-------
I am speaking because I've done this stuff both ways,,,,
Just my 2 cents worth.
