looking for a tube preamps that doesn't sound like SS

any recommendations for a tube preamp under 4k, that has old school sound, warm, fat, with good mid range and sound-staging.

I have a good SS set up, good clarity and imaging but would like to change things up with a good tube,.

Look into Aric Audio. Aric makes some wonderful gear,that sounds incredible,and won't break the bank. No affiliation,just a very satisfied customer.

One of the most overlooked- simple and fast, great presentation and tube sounding- CARY SLP98 F1 edition (not the stock SLP 98) you won’t break the bank and you’ll get a wide sound stage that is forward and with bass.
