I had a tube Pre-Amp for a while. I always like tubes in my system somewhere, but I feel you are better off having the'hiss' at the amp level, rather than amplifying the hiss from the pre-amp.

So you're the firebottles dude...

Nice systems.

As far as tubes in preamp vs. amps, If I had to choose, I think I'd put the tubes as early in the system as possible. My preamp is actually a hybrid, a PAS3 with SS buffered outputs by Joe Curcio. Very nice and low output impedance. Even drives my tube amp, hehe.
