Audio interfaces and Mic preamps

[tranquillant]

Hey!

I have this Tube Microphone preamp made by Alto and I was wondering if I can use it with my audio interface... The audio interface has preamps also.
Do the two different preamps cause problems if hooked on at the same time....

My microphone is a condenser microphone so I need phantom power... both the audio interface and of course the tube preamp offer me the phantom power... So if I just switch the power on from the tube preamp and not the audio interface would it be alright to use them in conjunction?

Thanks!

PS. I know I ask a lot of questions but bear with me

If it were me, I'd probably use the preamp in the interface and sell the separate preamp.
