EQ before Preamp?

I am switching my preamp from a Parasound P3 to a Jungson model that does not have a processor/tape loop like the Parasound does. What will happen when I use this signal path: Linn Kremlin > Behringer 2496 EQ > Jungson Preamp > Power Amp.

That's funny: The old fashioned vacuum tubes(mil-spec from the 40's, TungSols and Sylvanias)work best in my amps too. Thanks and happy listening!

[quite]I agree that capacitors in the signal path can affect sound quality.[/quote]

I am no engineer but wouldn't it be best if there are no capacitors in the signal path. At least my 'cheap' Rotel pre amp doesn't have have any.

Mordante...You're correct that the best capacitor is no capacitor (at least in the signal path). My Kenwood LO7M power amps (from the early 80's) are direct coupled input to output, and are flat to DC. You can really hear the benefits, particularly when used to drive a subwoofer.
