A tube preamp, is used primarily in audio applications because of its reputation to provide warm and realistic sound. These applications include stereo preamps, microphone preamps, turntable/phono preamps and guitar preamps.A tube preamp is alone regarded as an essential part in audiophile stereo systems or music/studio recording.

Before transistors were common or used at all, vacuum tubes were used in all equipment. Therefore, some older, vintage preamps has gained higher status, due to a claimed reliability and tube sound characteristics.
