Tubes Through Solid State


I've always had solid state or tubes; never mixed the two.
If I get a tubed front end and run it through a solid state power amp do I lose the tube timbre and depth? In other words are the tubes wasted or does it survive and get passed along? I am thinking BAT tubes for the front and I hae Pass Labs amps.
Thanks

My experience is that better sound is obtained via tubes into tubes. Ive tried my pre tube into various SS amps and it never improves the sound.
