Andros Deluxe II

Introduced 2021$8,300 MSRP

Zesto Audio is a small California-based company founded and run by designer George Counnas, building its all-tube phono stages in limited quantities with direct-to-dealer distribution rather than mass retail. The Andros Deluxe II is the mid-tier model of Zesto's three-phono-stage lineup, an all-tube design (no solid-state devices in the signal path) with internal step-up transformers for MC use, and won The Absolute Sound's 2022 Product of the Year award.
