The OP wants punchy,bass heavy,colored, rolled off ,etc. What manufacturer would make something inaccurate like that? Playing with an equalizer might give him some options.

There are Japanese artisans that create wonderful sounding equipment based on vintage designs. Leben and Shindo are good examples.

find a nice old dynaco pas-3 and get it reconditioned.

Been there, done that. Dynaco preamps are not for me.
You own and listen to a pas 3 pre-amp claw ?
KINDA: no, i don't but have a good friend that does. the phono pre is actually pretty good on those.
Tom Collins
It is a nice little pre amp(pas 3X) with the right tubes and take care of it like I did with mine still a good sounding pre amp esp for the money I spent of it years ago. Hit it with a nice pair of Mk IV's and it really has a nice sound to it. Better then a lot of SS pre amps I have listened to in time. Pre amps can really cost you if you are not careful.
Take care Tom,

I disagree.
I think what he wants is the sound of vintage tube gear which could be inaccurate and highly euphonic (of course, back then it was just the way everything sounded). This sound can't be duplicated with an EQ. There are modern audio devices which are based on early tube circuits which don't measure that well and have a vintage sound. I imagine that's what he's inquiring about.
Maybe, yeah. So what would these modern units be? Any names?
I gotcha! He best be shopping for vintage gear!
