I currently have the Coda 07x preamp in my system. It has tube-like qualities like rich timbral color and it’s very “live music” sounding in that the noise floor seems incredibly low, free of artifacts or ‘film’. Very smooth and coherent. There’s a beautiful dimensionality in the soundstage.
As a long-time tube lover, I have to say it’s a joy to listen to in my system, even when coupled with an SS amp, an XA-25 in my case.
