Yes, but when most SS amps go to full power with less than 1.0V input (some as low as 0.25V) any tube preamp with gain is a bad match. A solid state amp with 5 or 10 volt input sensitivity is a perfect match for a tube preamp. Tube buffered attenuators with little or no gain are fine, but are really just tone controls.
