Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp?

Also looking for some input. I have a CJ mf200 that I just picked up and I’m looking for a tube preamp with a remote. I’m running a MacBook Pro with Jriver, Schiit modi dac and Thiel cs2 speakers. So now I’m looking for a tube preamp for this set up. I have been looking at Jolida jd5t and schiit and a rogue 66 preamps on the used market. I need to stay under the $ 500 range. I could possibly loose the remote if there is a better option for a preamp.

I have Aesthetix Eclipse Linestage and paired it with Aesthetix Atlas mono in the past. Can't literally say it's solid state as Atlas is hybrid amp. It worked so well. Then I replaced the amp with Atma-sphere MA-1. Goosebumps. 

Later I purchased Atma-sphere MP-1 to substitute the Eclipse..I noticed, Aesthetix Eclipse is more like ss preamp but I love this combo. 

So I will need to let go off my Atma-sphere MP-1 preamp.

The tube amp is where the real magic is - actually a SS preamp with tube amp makes more electrical sense as well than the reverse.

do it!!!    i prefer tube preamps and solid state power amps.   Main system puts a cary preamp with my SS monoblocks,  office system is a vincent hybrid integrated amp.    as stated above the tube preamp softens  and smooths the tonality, but the SS power Amps give it immediate punch and dynamism which I haven't found in tube power amps.   I admit i haven't tried it with ultra expensive tube power amps so there may be all tube combinations that kick but in my budget for power
this was the best arrangement  

Am I the only one who uses tubes BECAUSE of the extra detail they add? It’s a very 3D detail, very lifelike.

I don’t find tubes warmer than SS (listen to the "euphonic error" on the original NAD 3020!), except for the warm glow of the tubes themselves.
