SS preamp with tube amp

I toying with the idea of using my Esoteric integrated as a preamp to pair up with a tube amp. I'm wondering if I will get the "tube sound" with this set up.

The speakers are B&W 803 D2 Sources are VPI TT. BCD-1 CD player & Magnum Dynalan analogue & internet tiners. Very Happy with a distinctive sound quality.

Magnum Dynalab MD 102 Analogue & MD 807T Internet Tuners. i mayhighlight the fact of the Valve output stage of the MD 807 T built in DAC. i was carefull to ask Rogue Audio about the comoatability (Output impedance wise) between the Bryston BP 26 & THE Rogue Amps M180. indeed as Charles said" the power amp has the bigger influnece over the resulting sound" Thanks
