Modern "Vintage" Sounding Preamps

I like my current preamps (upgraded & restored Acurus LS-11 & CJ PF1) but I'm wanting something at the other end of the spectrum. My preamps, being SS, are towards the "accurate" and "clean" part of the spectrum. What preamps (tube or SS) in your experience lean heavily the soft/warm/forgiving end of the spectrum? Caveats are they must be affordable (under $2K American new or used) and less than 20 years old. Yes, I'm sure a CJ PV5 is just the ticket, but it'd need rebuilding or, if rebuilt, would push well above $2K ...

Yes, Quicksilver is great stuff....  can't be beat for the money in my opinion.   Greg, I keep telling you, call Mike at QS and tell him you need a pre wired with dual RCA outputs.....

You would be lucky if you can get a new one.

I ordered a 100WPC amp two months ago, but it is still not ready to be shipped. QS has now a huge backlog of transformers to go with their amps.
