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,.

I think an Ultraverve by Dehavilland (Kara Chaffee) would meet the description in your original post. It is 6SN7 based. I bought a used one here on Agon and sold my Primaluna Prologue Premium that I had for 5 years. The PL served me well, I was just after a full, neutral, non-colored, i.e. different sound. I was amazed at the impact a different preamp made in my system.
