I used Quasar before upgrading to a tubed unit twice the retail price.
I see the retail cost has gone up a bit since I had one($700)
Very nice and quiet unit with "audiophile" credentials-discrete compononets(no amps) and separate power supply.
If you don't need MC gain, this looks like a good deal:

I believe it the same circuit without additional gain
