Here is my very well regarded Salience Phono Stage for sale. £330
I have had this for a few years, before replacing with my BB3, which is also for sale.
Beautiful musical phono stage, with amazingly wide sound stage.
Pared with a quality interconnect I have been really impressed
Power supply in matching case.
A few minor scratches on the top of the phono stage, that I have tried to catch in the photo.
Only other minot fault is the Load Impedance knob came off one day, so it does not necessarily match impedance to the number it is pointing to. This made no difference to me as I set it by ear. The knob is fitted back on, just a grub screw, but it is not the most secure of designs!
I have original packaging.
Some information from online and links:
Dear friend,

Apparently Salience is the company that has designed and manufactures this phono stage and Jasmine purchases a similar unit from Salience and markets it under their own name. This is similar to the practices of say "Shop Vac" or "Maytag" producing a special unit for only Home Depot.
The two units although cosmetically look identical, they are not identical internally. The the unit made for Jasmine is made to a price point while the Salience has much higher quality parts and internals. For example the Salience uses Nichicon KZ audio capacitors while the Jasmine uses the lesser Rubycon capacitors. The Salience uses silver film resistors and the Jasmine does not. Internal wiring is not the same, the RCA connectors are a higher conductance etc. etc.
This is the same practice that takes place in the US at the big box stores where say "Maytag" produces a washer to a price point for only Home Depot. Even though the washer may look identical to the authorized dealer's washer, it is of less quality and thus a lower price.
Some of these link refer to the LP2.5, I am selling the LP2.0, I am not sure of the differences.
