Has anyone actually bought a Zesto Phono preamp?

I own one and it is a great phono stage and IMO competes very effectively with anything in the $6K to $10K range. I also own the EAR 868 full function preamp with built in phono stage. I can say for sure that the Zesto outperforms the EAR internal phono stage in all the areas that are important to me including resolution, soundstage, transparency and lack of grain. This using the EAR's linestage feeding an EAR 534 and Marten Form speakers. I do know the designer and Zesto president George personally but I have no financial interest in the company. To clarify an earlier remark, the company is Zesto Audio and the model is the Andros PS-1. There is also a line stage preamp in prototype stage now which will make its debut at the Newport Beach, CA show.

Mbump - Sorry for the delay in my response. I've owned two EAR 834P's one deluxe and one black. I also have an EAR 868 preamp with built in MM/MC phono stage. I think the Zesto is way ahead of the 834P and is very competitive and a bit smoother and more liquid and has a slightly better soundstage than the 868 phono stage. I'm told that the 868's phono stage is sold as a stand alone unit for $6,000, making the Zesto a very good buy.

Rlw3 - Sorry for the delay in responding. IMO, the Zesto does well with all genres. George, the designer of the Zesto is a recording engineer and listens to a lot of rock.
