Vincent tube preamp

I have an Atoll IN300 integrated that I can bypass the preamp section and add a separate preamp. I wanted to try a tube preamp to add some tube sound to system. I was looking at Vincent audio SA-T7MK. Will this preamp add enough tubey richness to sound. My system is Atoll, Denafrips Pontus 15th, Onix cd transport and Fritz Carbons in well treated room.

I have been told by distributor of Atoll to look at Octave or Audio Reseach but those are out of my budget

Does anyone in the forum have experience with Vincent Audio SA-T7MK tube  preamp combining with solid state amp?

I have the non-MK version for a while now. Very competent device with really good tone controls (defeatable), and even though I have quite a few preamps, I still keep this one, but replaced a few tubes with their western equivalents, they’re cheap.
The tube circuit is designed and assembled in Germany. Been using it with various solid state amps without any problems. It has two set of outputs 50 Ohm and 600 Ohm. I have its picture in my system page.

There’s a quite long discussion about it on Steve Hoffmann’s forum.
