transistor pre with the sound of tubes


Not sure i am mature enough for a tube preamp, so my quest would be for a transistor pre with a hint of tube sound.
What would be your suggestions? 
Btw, needs to be balanced as my active speakers only accept balanced.

If the budget is tight, wonder if the Belles Aria pre would suite you.  I understand it has an expansive sound stage like tube--but harmonically may be more neutral than "tubey"
