Zesto Audio

If you want something done right… Digital technology has its place, but true audiophiles know that for the truest, purest sound, nothing beats analog. As I returned “home” to the warm, wonderful world of vinyl, I looked for the gear that would deliver the highest fidelity. I wasn’t satisfied. So I built my own.

Vacuum tubes: everything old becomes new again Vacuum tubes faithfully bring warmth and harmonic tonality like nothing else can. As a young man in England, I designed vacuum tube circuits. I worked for DECCA Navigator — at the time Britain’s largest electronics company — as part of a research and development team designing airborne navigational systems for the Royal Air Force. So I have many years of experience designing, creating and bringing to market high-end electronic equipment. The difference here is that no one’s life is at stake.

I’ve loved music all my life – as a musician, record producer and audio engineer. That makes me fussy about sound. That’s a good thing.

Key Features

 

  • Allasso in Greek means to change or transform one thing to another.
  • It’s very versatile! Will accommodate the widest range of cartridges with 40 adjustments in Mono and 40 adjustments in Stereo.
  • It’s flexible to allow you to control the 4 step up ratios/gain settings, each having 10 load positions.
  • Designed with the highest quality MC transformers. They are quiet, with extra shielding and large enough with the multiple windings to handle even your high output cartridges.
  • It’s easy to use as all the adjustments are on the front, nothing is hidden inside.
  • All adjustments can be done on the “fly” without clicks or pops.
  • No math skills are required; it’s just you and your ears.
  • Enough adjustments to tailor it specifically to your cartridge or your next one.

 

  • Works with any standard MM input on any phonostage.
  • Designed to reduce “Hum” with 2 ground lift switches and 2 ground binding posts.
  • The Mono switch is specifically designed to reduce “Hum” in your Mono cartridge.
  • A unique feature of the Mono switch is it takes a single input and sends to both outputs.
  • It’s quiet, with extensive grounding in the circuit design and enclosure.
  • RCA connectors are high quality, Gold plated, recessed with an isolated ground.
  • Recessed RCA connectors are durable and will hold up to the typical Audiophile who loves to change their configuration.
  • Elegantly designed 18 gauge steel enclosure to help isolate the electronic “chatter” from nearby equipment.
  • Easy to read large type on back panel.
  • Each unit is hand built “Made in the USA”.
