Class D power amp with tube preamp?

Forums

Hi,
I would like to hear if anybody has experience with using a Class D power amp with a tube preamp?

I'm attracted to the low power consumption and small size of Class D as well as the reportedly authoritative sound. However, I'm worried that I won't like the unforgiving sound that a lot of reviewers seem to experience with Class D, and I wondered whether a good tube preamp would be sufficent to soften the sound?
Thanks,
Jens
