| Magico S5 review Yeah I've written off that dealer too | |
| Spectral DMA 400 Mono Blocks? I may put my 2010 360 S2's up for sale, but they won't be cheap. Send PM | |
| Has anyone actually bought a Zesto Phono preamp? FYI - Zesto = Greek for "warm". Andros = A Greek island. Zesto's owner is Greek. The unit sounds quite good, build quality is average (e.g. flimsy knobs in the back, RCA jacks, etc). With a little more attention to build quality, it can be a super... | |
