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.

McIntosh C2200 - But this is already very dear to me.

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

@vetusto, I would not agree that Japanese audio tech is more reliable than U.S.. Components like capacitors typically last at least as long as about 25 years, give or take, and might last many more… or not. One would want to replace them before they fail and potentially cause further problems. Sort of like replacing automobile tires, better to replace them when they’re worn, rather than when they fail. Those  IBGT transistors are about as common as hens teeth.

@unsound ,  Sorry, that's not what I meant ... I asked a rhetorical question: are Japanese technologies better than American ones? I do not know the answer to this question. :) I didn't have any American amplifiers or American cars. :)

Mark Levinson 380S
Mark Levinson No.38SL
All of them : Output impedance: less than 6 Ohm...
Mark Levinson No.326S -  Output impedance: less than 50 Ohm...
Haven’t I already found what I need so quickly? :)
And at the Japanese auction they are still worth less than $ 1,500. I think by the end of the auction the price will rise to 2300 dollars, but I can survive it. What do you think, dear friends, should I buy one of these preamplifiers?

You are not sounding harsh, and your English is far better than many of the native English speakers that haunt this forum. I am merely suggesting that the Threshold is a fine solid state amp amp that might be a better candidate for a moderately priced tube amp than a solid state Pass preamp. As mentioned, I have heard many and and owned two Pass preamps, and I was underwhelmed to say the least. Lifeless, dry, sterile, and just un-musical, in my opinion. His amps...FANTASTIC, on the other hand! I also would not be too concerned about using balanced over RCA. Just because a piece of gear utilizes XLR, does not always mean it is truly, "balanced". I use unbalanced cables from my Aric Audio Motherlode to my Coda 16 and I do not believe that I am missing anything in the sound quality.
