I did some research after I had posted this and found out that I'm good with the preamp I'm using and it has a 100K input. But it was good to see that post to alert me about tube outputs being used with solid state inputs that there could be issues.
Follow Ups:
My current pre-amp USED to be an Allen Wright Electronic FVP aka 4 valve pre!It used a 12AX7 in CF for its output after the VC. Even the line in tube was!!!!!
???? yep.
It doesn't anymore, it's a 12AU7 in CF mode which are blameless and the line tube is a 12AT7.
It has a BIG, remote, regulated PSU, and it doesn't hum anymore!
Kvyet it is, too!

I always wanted to build the Allen Wright FVP5 preamp with the super regulators. I hear that was one very nice sounding preamp along with its phono section!
Mine is better, the remote PSU being the main factor. The DC HT is regulated and the DC heaters.
The RIAA stage embodies all of AWE's ideas. A mixture of film caps were used.
We didn't go to Vishay laser trimmed Rs, but did use some Holcos for RIAA, IIRC the rest are 1% selected MFs with twice the wattage of the originals. Same wit the RIAA stage.
This helps with noise, I'm told.
It's in a QUAD 22 box, so no room for a PSU anyway!
The VC is an ALPs

Switching absolute polarity from the listening seat, is far better than walking over to the pre-amp and back to yr seat.
So, I do it at spkr/power level.
