Low noise tube compliment for an Aesthetix Rhea?

What satisfying tube compliment experience has anyone here had with the Aesthetix Rhea phono stage? I'm using stock tubes and want a quieter background. Using a Dynevector VX1S cartridge on a Thorens TD850 turntable. The arm is a Wilson Benesch.

Realistically you have two choices. Dump the pre or get a higher output cart. I had the Rhea and even tried it with a step-up. I was not prepared to throw more money at it and waste more time looking for tubes so I got rid of it.

Did u end up solving your tube rush problem with the Rhea? I have the same set up and am looking to lower the noise floor.
