I get a lot of this question.
Valve amps are perfectly suited to passive pre-amps, where as with solid state there are some power amps that don't like passives I have never found a valve amp that isn't made better and more musical by a passive.

Re: P50/P90 with valve amps esp single ended
I used my old P90SA with a WAD KaT34 (which had been configured for passive apparently) and it worked brilliantly.
