I have had my eyes on the Coincident phono preamp for awhile now and I am getting ready to pull the trigger.  I was speaking to someone that was talking to me about the Zesto Andros II phono pre-amp.  I have not heard either.  Sure both are exceptional but wondering if anyone heard either or has one of the above and can shed more insight
Thanks in advance.

I am not in the loop on phono preamps anymore and I was going to suggest something much less expensive than the Zestro or Coincident. Some guys really like Boris' products at http://www.vista-audio.com/products.htm
