Adding pre-amp to an integrated amp?

I am using an tube integrated amplifier. From some immates in a newsgroup in Hong Kong, they mentioned the addition of a pre-amp. to the integrated amp. (treat the integrated amp. as standalone power amp.)and its performance improved. Does it make sense to amplify the signal twice and resulting in better sonic performance? Hope the immates here to throw me some light on this.

Thanks for the inputs from all the immates. I have also post the same question to the immates and they finally answere me. They said the so called integrated amp is in fact a power amp with input selectors and volume control.

Nope. They are using the same integrated amp as mine. It don't have a pre-out. To my understanding, the immates just plug the output signal from the pre-amp to any of the inputs of the integrated amp. This resulted in double amplification of the signal. That cause my posting of the questing.
