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.

Quasar is a nice sounding unit. It moves toward the warmer side of the SS spectrum. I think it may be best suited to medium .4 ish carts. Can't go wrong IMO.
I purchased a used Heed Quasar from a gent here on Audiogon. I can't be more pleased with the what I am able to hear. The Heed delivers a bigger, bolder, fuller sound which is mere detailed even at low volume. Now, how can I get sound like this from cd's ? I'm still a newb and loving it, does it ever stop ?

Thank You All
Thanks for all the insight, it really helps a newb. I bought a used keen from an agon member. hope it's great, if not the problem is me i guess.
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.
The Bellari 130 is a nice tubed phono stage. I have one for an Ortofon Black and enjoy the sound.
Thanks All,
This is a vicious circle... do I spend a bit more ? Graham Slee Reflex, Whest Two.

I'll end the search soon.
A used Graham Slee ERA Gold V is a fantastic sounding phono preamp, very transparent, natural, dynamic, absolutely no noise.
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.
I had a Sim Moon LP3 Phono Preamplifier that was reasonable in price and was dead quiet. They can be found for much less than 500.00. Read the reviews and I think you could use it in your system. Hope this helps. Steve
