Jasmine vs Musical Surroundings Nova Phono Pre-Amp

I just picked up a new PS Audio GCPH with warranty for $625. Replaced a Bellari VP130. Running a Pro-Ject RM5/Ortofon 2m Black. I haven't listened to the Jasmine or the Musical Surroudings, but I am thrilled with the PS Audio. You may want to consider it.

There is suppose to be a MK 3 Jasmine coming soon according to my friend who is waiting to buy one. I already have an expensive phono stage but if I was buying one under $2000 I would get the Jasmine.

Dynavector P75 is another you might want to add to that list. But both those you mention in your post seem to be highly thought of, for sure.

I sold a modded Cambridge Audio 640p, and a Bellari vp129 and purchased the Jasmine MK2. Before selling the 640p I did compare the 640p to a threshold and some other obscure high end model and the modified 640p was noticeably better. Then I bought a Jasmine MK2 and it was so ridiculously better than all of them. It had the biggest soundstage well past the walls, excellent dynamics, and the truth of timber was jaw dropping! On top of that it looks great. I still can't believe that you can get this good a phono that looks hot for so little money. My unit had some minor cosmetic damage in shipping and they quickly shipped me a replacement part. Excellent service and they answered all of my many questions.

My PSAudio Phonostage has a hum that won't go away. I'm also interested in the Musical Surroundings, as I want the quietest phono preamp possible, and am looking at battery powered units. Budget is $1k. Does anyone have any experience with the musical Surroundings?
