how many of you have mixed tube preamps & SS amps?

and how did/do you like the sound?

i am wondering because:
I have a vintage fisher 500c tube receiver that i may modify to use as a preamp for a beefy power amp (thinking adcom gfa545 or 555). any experiences, positive or negative? anyone think this is a bad idear? my speakers are JBL s38s. please don't bash my speakers, especially if you haven't heard them. I like them a lot, but i think they could benefit from more POWER(!) but i want to keep the tubey sound (especially the tube phono stage).
for sources, i use an MMF5 TT and a denon dcm370 cdp. i also listen to the radio on the fisher.

thanks,
eric
