Has anyone actually bought a Zesto Phono preamp?
This is the one manufactured by the company known as Andros.I know,the company name sounds like a fictional planet in a fifties sci-fi movie and the name of the amp sounds like a cleaning product.So much for "branding" 101 for these people,questio...
