phono stage for VPI Traveler w/ 2m blue

Thanks for your advise in advance.
I have a Creek OBH 18 which is giving some hum and Rf noise. Cables are KAB Jazz & Blues. I put together a budget office system and now have the disease to eliminate the small annoyances, I know it won't end anytime soon. I would like some advice on replacing the phono stage in within a budget of 500-600. Music is primarily rock, alt, pop jazz.

Second the Dynavector P75.... I just love mine.. It is Fast and Dynamic with punchy bass and great detail... Very much like listening to LIVE music.

The Bellari 130 is a nice tubed phono stage. I have one for an Ortofon Black and enjoy the sound.

Another fan of the P75 here. Super if later you move to LOMC due to its Phono Enhancer mode for LOMC carts.

The Jolida and especially the Jasmine get a lot of love here, but I have heard neither.
