What is the quietest preamp you've used?

Can you also please tell me whether you were using balanced or se ins/outs? Thanks.

However; my latest pre is a two box Classe CP-65 and I have to admit, it is dead quiet, more so than the Krells, although; they were quiet also.

When we tried out it didn,t worked at all, so yeah I guess thats the quietest preamp I,ve ever heard in my life.
