"Good luck with the PS Audio Stellar. Darrin Myers, who designed the Stellar Phono recently left PS Audio for Parasound, great engineer, and it seems PS Audio is liquidating their stock of this preamp, and assume they have no plan to continue its development"
The PS Audio Stellar Phono preamp was designed by Paul McGowan who is very much still at PS Audio and has plans for a fully discrete phono amp version. This gear has returned to normal retail price of $2999 on mfr's website after last month's 33% discount.
