Seeking recommendations for warm, rich, fat sounding, syrupy tube phono preamp

I've posted this request before as it's the type of sound I like (warm, rich, rolled-off, round, romantic, muffled, punchy, bass-heavy, dark, syrupy, colored, etc). The reason I'm posting again is because it's been a while and there are always new phono pres being released on the market. I'm not familiar with many of them. Recently, a friend who also favors this type of sound has asked for my recommendation sub-$1000 price range. Typically for this I will suggest the Vincent PHO 700 as it's the only budget pre I've encountered that approaches this type of sound. But I'm wondering if there are other options and something, perhaps, even more thick and colored and less neutral sounding than the PHO 700? And yes, I know I am not looking for accurate. I want something to mask and gloss over and fill out poor recordings. I admit it.
