SS pre sounds like tubes


I had a Tom Evans Vibe, was the best preamp I have had.  It sounds like best tube preamps but even better.  It is op-amps.  Are there other SS preamps that sound like this, or close, maybe with opamps?  Not too expensive, maybe $3000 at most?

Actually the trend is for the companies to meet somewhere in the middle....s/s electronics are sounding less s/s...tube electronics are sounding less like tubes.  I guess everyone is agreeing that these are adding artifacts into the soundstream that shouldn't be there.  Have a listen to Ayre, or top of the line Audio Research.
