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?

The Vibe does indeed share the same sonic rightness as the better tube preamps. I liked the SoulMate preamp even better however!
Sounds like you guys would love an LDR based passive from Tortuga or Lightspeed. I owned both and they deliver what you like!
