SS against Tube Preamp

Hi Guys,
I have been adviced several times to get a tube preamp to mix it with my solid state amp. I would like to hear opinions about this combination and if it really change the sound for the better. I don't want to spend my money without to be sure there will be an improve. I mean between the same level.
Thanks,
Jorge.

Yes, that is what I say. I have been in front of several SS ultra Hi-End systems that cost a lot of $$$$$ which can not reach the sound level of some entry level tube gears. I listened a Rogue audio tube integrated with an Arcam CD player, the speakers were Epos bookshelves with Straight Wire cables, the sound was to die for, and everything was less than $ 3000.

The tube evangelists hyperbolic fervor that finds it necessary to damn ss gets downright silly sometimes.
