Description

I grew up around high end audio, but only really got into this hobby heavily in 2001 while in college. I've been through more gear than I like to think about and have learned a ton over the last decade.

This current system a culmination of my trial and errors.

I wanted to post this in "done for now" but I'd only be kidding myself...

I saw you name on a thread early last year on phono stages. I was interested in purchasing the Jasmine phono stage. It sounds like you this unit with Bob's transformer. Do you still like it? Any other suggestions? Saw a Musical Surroundings Nova for $700 on Audiogon that seemed to have good reviews.

Wow!!!! I like all you different systems. I have a couple systems as well but they are not as nice as yours.

Thanks for any thoughts you have on a phono stage.
