Conrad Johnson MV60se amp paired with Bryston

I am not an audiophile and seek your opinion. I have an older Conrad Johnson MV60se tube amp paired with a Bryston BP6 preamp. The detail and smooth sound of the tube amp appears to match well with the transparent Bryston preamp. Am I crazy or would the CJ classic tube preamp be a better match?

Crazy can be good. I do nt see any problem with your combo at all.
Especially if it sounds good !!!

Not crazy. I, too, enjoy a tubed pre-amp mated w/ a solid state power amp.

Happy listening!

SS and tubes go well together. I have the reverse, tube CJ pre and SS amp that sounds so good I can't tell it from all tube. The only comment I have is that the reverse is cheaper because of tubes in the amp, but you can upgrade the sound of the CJ amp by using different tubes.
