Jasmine LP 2.0 Mk2, which was the upgraded and improved model from the justly famous Jasmine 2.0 SE.

 

Build quality and sound quality are just astonishing for the price! Note that you would need to pay about 4 times what I am asking to get the current solid state model.

This unit has been further enhanced with some replacement audiophile-quality components in the power supply including teflon-coated solid core silver wiring, Philips Vishay 63V caps, etc, soldered using top quality Cardas high-silver-content solder. Modifications were made by TTW, then member of stereo.net.au forums, who is a certified Australian electrical engineer.

While the performance is truly amazing for the price, you could further improve it with replacement components in the MM stage, if you wanted.

 

I note that one of these has just sold on US Ebay for about AU$680 plus shipping.

Package weight is a little below 8kg. This is not a lightweight phono preamp in any way.

[Current models are the Jasmine LP 3.0 Mk1 (about AU$1600 + shipping from China + taxes), and the all-tube Jasmine LP 4.0 (about AU$3500 + shipping + taxes)]

I've had an offer and made a counteroffer. It hasn't been accepted (yet), so the sale is still tentatively open to higher offers. Of course the moment he accepts or we reach agreement, I won't accept higher offers.

Sold subject to payment being received. Thanks.
