Actually, we always used tube preamps when we demo'd Model 88s until Eduardo came out with his ss Model 5 linestage.
I NEVER heard Eduardo express a preference for ss preamps with his amps, until his preamp came out. And afterwards, I still never heard him say he preferred ss preamps, aside from his own.
And the Model 5 was very nearly a tubed unit, FWIW...
Best regards,
