Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes)

Anyone come a cross a warm, rich but detailed solid state preamp that engaged you and gave you that spatiality of a good tube preamp?

I suppose im thinking of C900u or Accuphase?

Even something like Gryphon or Nagra or FM Acoustics. You have to choose. Vladimir of Lamm designs great equipment, by the way.

Mean find one for good price all over. Check flea bay, they have several from time to time 200-500$ is good. A superb preamp. warm, natural, had mine recapped, serviced about 2 years ago, never been happier, she is outstanding!’
