Used Pre under $8K with lowest nosie floor(?)

Does that rule out all tube pre's? System:

Hales T8

Ayre v-5xe and k-5xemp

MBL corona player

Not crazy about the idea of upgrading to the new Ayre Pre (K-X5 twenty)

Under $8K, brand new all point-to-point wired, with top parts quality. I will offer a trail period also. Dead quiet!! Happy Listening.

MP-1 is absolutely fantastic machine (as well as M-60). If you are looking for new preamp, you mush listen this preamplifier. It is expensive but this is one of the finest preamplifers ever made and you'll have a lot of troubles to find better at any budget.
