Zesto Andros phono users


What's the lowest output MC cartridge you've used with good results? I own the original phono stage, not the 1.2 version.

Thanks 😊

Ortofon Rohmann at 0.25. A little bit noisy though.
Upgrading the Zesto to the 1.2 increased the gain and lowered the noise floor - a big improvement.

Taters -
The upgrade cost for the Zesto from 1 to 1.2 is subjective.
My personal view is if you are keeping the Zesto long term, then the upgrade is worthwhile - slightly more gain, lower noise floor and more fluid and open through the midrange. Overall quite an audible and enjoyable improvement.
