Dagostino hd momentum, is lack of rubes a problem?

Kinda disappointing that dagostino doesnt do tubes. Is lack of tubes in their hd momentum preamp cause for concern when paired with a ss amp?

yes, rubes in title sb tubes.  Cant edit descriptions. So rubes appears.

Source output impedance to pre input impedance, and pre output impedance to amp input impedance (and to a degree, amp to speaker as well)
All need the 1:10 or higher ratio

(1000ohm = 1kohm)

So a source with 100ohm output impedance is good into pre input impedance with 10 x that, which is 1000ohms. (1000ohm is referred to as 1kohm).

So why do ohms ratios increase from source to pre and then to amp and then to speaker.

thanks

 i have spoken with Dan Way back when  1988 we hit it off  hung out a few times  got  together at the Listing Room Scarsdale NY & at his Factory in Orange CT  Solid State is what he is very good at  & had no interest in tubes  even its its just output stage  I too have tried to Mix & match my Krell  Amps With AR tube preamp  and a few other big name tube preamps as far as i am concerned it just does not match up i will keep my KRELL  Amp & pre amp anytime over tube  I do love VAC tube Equipment  but then comes  the tube insanity of rolling tubes & it just never stops   it s  one or the other   i am all in Solid state  M L , J R , Krell will do just fine good night
