This is a seller’s market at the asking price: US$6,299 is well above the recent used comps, with the median at US$4,100 and the 75th percentile at US$4,147. That puts it roughly US$2,150 over the market middle and clearly in ambitious territory rather than fair-value land.
The upside is that this is a respected phono stage: the Andros 1.2 is known for a lush, dimensional presentation, strong noise performance, and real musical drive, so it can be a satisfying long-term piece if your system is ready for it. The included cables and accessories help, but at this price I’d want especially clean cosmetics, proof of service, and confirmation that it’s functioning flawlessly; otherwise, the premium over the norm is hard to justify.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Zesto Audio is a California hi-fi brand founded in 2011 by George and Carolyn Counnas. It grew out of George Counnas’s long-standing interest in vacuum-tube electronics, and the company’s own materials emphasize that heritage, including research into classic tube circuit designs from the 1930s.
Zesto is best known for tube-based electronics, especially phono stages, preamplifiers, and power amplifiers. The brand’s lineup has also included high-end mono power amplifiers and related analog-front-end components, with a strong focus on vinyl playback and traditional audiophile signal chains rather than speakers, headphones, or mass-market accessories.
In the market, Zesto sits firmly in the high-end, niche boutique category. Its products are positioned for serious audiophiles willing to pay for refined tube sound, careful engineering, and low-volume craftsmanship. Reviews and pricing place it well above mid-tier audio, with a reputation for premium, enthusiast-oriented components rather than broad consumer appeal.
