Late to the party but I would recommend a used Zesto 1.2. I used one for a few years and then went up to the Zesto Deluxe II which has balanced I/O and better SUTs but is a lot more expensive. The 1.2 is dead quiet, dynamic, not tubey and just flat out a great sounding bargain. Reliable and cheap to run.
Looking for a tube phono pre
Looking for a tube phono pre in the 2500 to 3k price range. Currently running a Sutherland Insight LPS. Using a PrimaLuna EVO 400 integrated and VPI Prime scout with Hana ML. I have a Chinook on order at Upscale but they are dragging their feet and I have read some reliability issue post with the Chinooks, so I can cancel the order. Anyone compare the Rogue to a Chinook? Thanks
