I would like to know if there is any way to connect a transistor amp with a tube amp.
I have an Usher 9000 II ( Pre main amp), it's sold in Taiwan only, and Usher CP 6311.
Sometimes I feel the sound is too clear and clean for me. Is there any way to make the sound warmer and fuller without spending so much money? Or is there a way to connect my amp with a tube amp or monoblocks, does it make sence?

Amp connections

If your integrated amp has pre-amp outputs (line level RCA connections) than you can connect them to any external amplifier. Tubes are usually low power and work best with efficient speakers.

Yes, efficient speakers. Look for at the very least mid to high 90's effiency @ 1 watt speakers to utilize a tube amplifier.

If "clear and clean" means overly bright you can experiment with toe the speakers out a few degrees. Also I would consider a couple of acoustical panels. If you are not talking about overly bright, then never mind.
