Dumb question......why do you need a preamp?
You'd think after 50 years I would know this, but I don't. Aren't today's integrated enough?
Take any solid state integrated and hook a really good tube preamp to it and you’ll have your answer.
Some people prefer separates, some people prefer integrated. No hard and fast rule.
If you have an integrated amp a separate preamp/line stage is not needed.
