The Zesto Audio Andros 1.2 is a hand-built, single-chassis all-tube MM/MC phono-stage preamplifier for turntable cartridges. It provides separate moving-magnet and moving-coil inputs, including a transformer-balanced XLR MC input and internal MC step-up transformers. Cartridge loading and gain-related settings are adjustable from the front panel, and the RIAA equalization is implemented with a passive filter. It was superseded by the Andros II, so it is no longer Zesto Audio’s current Andros model.
