Tube in Preamp or Power amp?


I have been thinking to move from a solid state int. amp to the tube world. If I were to go separate and if one has to be SS, would it be better to have tube in the preamp or in the power amp? or would it make any difference since I'm mixing tube with ss?

Lizzie...whining about criticism instead of responding is a little weird, but if you need to insure you're liked, get a dog. Obviousness? Do you prefer the obtuse? I can do obtuse, but it's pointless...wait...that was an obtuse point that could be interpreted as obviousness if the pointlessness was tranparantly and easily percieved...damn...where's my ax grinder...the fog of the 60s...

Bo, remind me, what is in your current system?

I seem to remember an Onkyo Pre/Pro using its Audussey digital equalization, Monitor Audio speakers and sub, solid state amplification, and a digital source?
It looks like if this tread has become a chat session. Are you F...kidding me? The tread is for Solaris, not for our nonsense. The spource is a Olive 06HD...by the way....
Unsound, the "infomercial" description should make it clear I don't mean you. :)
