Manley Chinook or Zesto Andros 1.2


Looking to add a phonostage for my system. Right now i have a vpi prime with ortofon 2m black cart, rogue cronus magnum II integrated amp and tannoy xt8f for speakers. I'm leaning on getting a Ortofon Quintet Black.

I've narrowed it down to these two Manley Chinook or Zesto Andros 1.2. I know theres a big price difference but I can get a used andros 1.2 for a good price.

Performance/sound, versatility and quality which one is better? Will any of those phono stage pair up well with my integrated amp?

I want phono that will last for a long time.

Im open to other phonostage as well.

I would also consider the Sutherland Insight or 20/20 if you can spend a little more.The DV P-75 is also high value (price/performance) phono pre as well. Cable Company sells all 3 and I'm sure they'll be able to send you demo units to try first.
