Does anyone have direct experience with the Allnic L8500 pre amp?

Hi everyone

I am in the early stages of exploring an upgrade to my pre amp. I am still delighted with my Allnic H700V and from reviews I'm interested in the L8500 line stage.
Is it noisy / Is anyone using this line stage with efficient speakers?
How do you feel about it compared to similarly priced alternatives?

Thanks!

Thought I'd try to resurrect this question.
....No one...?

Hi - just saw your post.
I bought the L8500 last year after auditioning and comparing multiple other options, tube and solid state. I found the L8500 to offer a great, rather unique combination of transparency / resolution, imaging, and tonality. My speakers are 92db sensitive at 6 ohms and completely quiet, even at high volumes: zero hiss, or background noise.
