Can I use my passive preamp with tube amps?


I have been thinking about making the switch to some tube monos but I use a passive preamp (Bel Canto DAC3). I was wondering if a passive preamp works in the some way with tubes than solidstate. I have comared using a preamp with my current set up and I prefer the sound with the passive preamp. Thanks

If you're asking why he'd want to go to tube monoblocks: If you really need an explanation, you wouldn't understand.
In terms of impedance matching, a passive will in most cases work better with tube amps, they are simply easier loads to drive. What is the input sensitivty of you amps? What is the output volatage of the DAC? In all likelyhood, it will be a very good match.

That was not what I was asking. I was asking why he would want to use a passive preamp.
The fewer things in the reproduction chain, the better it sounds. Nothing sounds as good as nothing is a reasonably accurate description. I use both but for the greatest detail passive is very hard to beat. Some will still prefer active but passive should be tried by anyone with doubts. Stan Wallen, Alternative Audio
