Make sure you have power at the AC outlet. Sometimes those outlets are on a switched circuit. If so, flip the switch.

Also, if it has a detachable power cable, make sure it's plugged all the way in.
If the tube preamp has a tube rectified power supply, then indeed there are tubes in the power section. ARC has used 6L6, 6550, 5AR4, and a few others in their preamps.

The ARC REF5 uses a 6550.
