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

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. 

Purchase a SS pre amp that sounds like a tube pre amp

Joule Electra - real tube sound but with great dynamic and impact too

Audio Research SP3a
Audio Research SP10
Conrad Johnson PV5
Marantz 7c
McIntosh C22
McIntosh 110z *  Tuner Preamp

All sound like tubes, all have excellent phono stages.  All will require maintenance to perform at their best.

A more recent possibility:  Brown Audio Labs SP-1B

The above review, and all others are stellar.

Slightly out of th box suggestion would be a VanAlstine Super PAS3.  This is a highly modified Dynaco PAS3 preamp, offered by the VanAlstine company.  Long time Stereophile recommended component, available for less than $500, and would allow you to find out if this is the path you want to follow.  It is a very good preamp- sounding much better than many that cost a lot more.  Should you decide to move on from it, resale value is excellent so you may even have a profit after resale.
