Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier


Good day, Colleagues!
Not so long ago, at an auction in Japan, I accidentally won the Threshold T-200 amplifier. I really wanted this brand, but I was looking for the T-800D model. But it turned out to buy this amplifier ... And now I am very tormented with the choice.
I spent two days on the internet looking for balanced amplifiers. Here is a list, is there anything on this list worth seeing?
Pass Labs X1 - 
This preamplifier is sold in Russia at a very good price, it seems to me. 1800 dollars. But I do not know his condition. The photographs show that the cable that connects the power supply and the preamplifier itself is frayed. And the power supply is not complete, but a small black box.
Pass Labs X2.5 - I found this preamp for 2000 euros in Croatia, but shipping will cost around 500 euros, so it is already very expensive for me. 
Black Ice F-360 - A very interesting preamplifier. The ad suggests that this preamp has very high detail and can expand the scene. :) But I don't believe in advertisements.
Leema Acoustics Pyxis ll -  This amplifier is quite expensive, I found it in my country for $ 2500 and this is a showcase sample. It has an impressive range of features, there is a phono stage, which I also need, and balanced inputs and outputs.
Electrocompaniet ec 4.7
Electrocompaniet EC 4.8
Krell KSL-2
Audia Flight Pre
Quad Artera Pre
Rotel RC-5000
Audio research LS-15
audio research LS-2B
Spectron Model 10
Audio research LS 17
BAT VK-30
McIntosh C2200 - But this is already very dear to me.

I really look forward to your help and advice in choosing.

Yahoo auction. There is a "deferred bid" which is triggered 5 minutes before the end of trading. I followed this amp for 6 days and half an hour before the end of the auction, the price was still around $ 1100. I decided to place a bet.  And the service informed me that my rate is lower than the one that has already been offered. Apparently, someone made this deferred bet. I bet $ 1,200, but it was also below that deferred bet. Then I started wondering how much my appponent had bet ... :) I started raising my bet, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1800, 2000 dollars - your bet is accepted. :) I think this is a very high price for this amplifier. But no one else put more than $ 2000 ... So I became the owner of Threshold for $ 2300 (another $ 300 - delivery to Moscow). Something like this. :)
For many days of choosing and searching for a preamplifier, I have compiled the following list: Pass Labs x1 Pass Labs x2.5 Threshold T2 Threshold T3 These four preamps are in priority. But I have not yet found an inexpensive device from the above-mentioned list. They all cost from 3 thousand dollars.
All designed by Nelson Pass. I’ve heard great things about all of these. I’m sure someone with firsthand knowledge will be chiming in soon.  
   
    I have two Nelson Pass amps,(First Watt F5,and J2)  I run tube preamps with them. The results put a huge smile on my face.  However that doesn’t give me experience with your choices.  As long as the pre you choose is in proper working order, I would speculate great sound.
Please tell us which tube preamps do you use? The point is that I have always believed that it is best to use a tube preamplifier with a transistor amplifier. With it, the sound will be alive. However, colleagues on other forums convince me that it is necessary to take exactly something from these preamplifiers, which I have given above. All this is expensive, and I do not have the opportunity to first buy Pass Labs, and then buy, for example, Audio research tube. Therefore, you need to choose now.
