CDSoundMaster has released Brimar Tube, a free tube preamp in VST plugin format for Windows (standalone plugin based on Nebula Technology).
The Brimar 13D5 is an excellent example of lively sound without unwanted brightness. It is able to exhibit some characteristics of higher gain without overt artifacts.
Brimar Tube is part of the commercial Vintage Tube Collection, and is available for free download via CDSoundMaster.
