There is no problem with using valve phono stage with a passive pre.
re comparison with the Arkless, and I'm guessing you mean his modded Cambridge Audio stage, this Firebottle is a far more expensive stage. Bought new from a dealer you would be looking at several thousand pounds. So comparison not really valid,
