That pre is one of the softer warmer ones out there. It is great for a highly resolving SS amps and analytic speakers, but If I were you and wanted to get a tighter sound, while preserving the tube magic, go the route less traveled. Get an SS pre to run with you tube power amps. You'll see that you preserve the tube sound but with better definition.
I know most will say nono.... go the tube pre route, but try it and see. The results will depend in good part on the quality of the tube power amps you are using.
