I used a Rotel and then switched to an Anthem preamp with my 4B ST...I honestly can't tell if there is any difference in output, at least not enough to matter one way or the other.

Tube pre and solid-state amp have, I've found, the best combination of warmth, accuracy, and bass power. I have a Conrad-Johnson tube amp connected to my Audio Research 100.2 solid-state amp. Best combo I've ever had from a list of gear that's pretty long.
