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)

Find any review, I've sat in front of this and compared with many.... Around $3000 used around $10,000 new or $7500 new without phono. Excellent phono by the way, Excellent headphone amp, balanced and single ended, tone controls, excellent remote and quiet as a tomb.
