Tube Pre and SS Power? Or the reverse?

The reverse, if you want that tube “bloom” out of your hybrid system. 

I use a tube power amp (Prima Luna Prologue 5) and a SS preamp/ CD player  (Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24).

I have had this set-up in place for the last 20 years, so it has stood the test of time.

For the last 6 or so years, I have been using ZU Audio Dirty Weekender floor-standers as the primary speakers.  

The ZU's are very efficient, so the PL provides plenty of power.  The house sound of the ZU's is very alive sounding, which the tubes compliment well.  

There's also a Technics 1210 TT in the mix.

No desire to upgrade or change.

OP, if you don't really want to deal with tube power amp with many tubes in it, just get Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated used. Your speakers will be delighted, Gryphons can handle almost anything. Optional DAC and phono stage are excellent. This is a true audiophile machine. Gryphons do not pretend to imitate tube sound in any way, they offer different high class transistor sound. I almost bought Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated but at the last moment went with VAC tube integrated. 

"tubey" sound is the term to actually describe specific colouration.

tube sound is something different, it is to describe naturalness palpability textures and correct soundstage presentation.

The traditional approach — tube preamp paired with a solid-state power amp or monoblocks — is generally better. The reasons are twofold: a more linear output stage and improved impedance matching and control over the speakers.

A little late to the party OP ... 

I too have tube pre (Herron) with SS Amp (Odyssey Kismet)

Best gear I have ever put together!

Good luck
